Obama has lost sight of the centre

FT
"But the Democrats should be worried about what voters think of them right now. The lesson for Mr Obama and his party is simple: listen to the centre. They are not listening. They appear to be stone-deaf. In Mr Obama’s case this is perplexing. He triumphed last year as a moderate, a pragmatist and a bridge-builder. He promised to change Washington. It was what centrists wanted to hear. It helped, of course, that Mr Obama is a man of charm and intellect, enormously likeable, a case-study in presidential demeanour."
