Interesting op-ed in the New York Times today. David Brooks, a self-proclaimed 'moderate' (I prefer the term 'spineless'), who spends quite a bit of time bashing conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, has written a piece (read it here) that basically admits that him and other moderates like him were 'wrong' about Obama.
What I find funny is the genuine surprise he expresses at the size of the Obama budget, and the far left tilt to his agenda. How anyone can be surprised is beyond me.
Of course, he cannot pass up the opportunity to take a few shots at the right wing in this article, and amusingly declares that it will be up to moderates like him to stop the excesses of the Obama administration and put the country back on the right track.
Assuming this is true, it will be interesting to see moderates finally expressing opinions of their own, and taking firm stances on policy positions without first taking a public opinion poll....

Personally, I don't understand why moderates (I call them indifferents) weren't all about McCain in the first place. He's entirely more moderate than Obama.
