Obama the centrist....

Here's more evidence for you leftists that Obama was opportunistic in
getting you to vote for him. Conservative Bush supporter Mike Gerson
has praise for Obama:

A defense secretary, Robert Gates, who once headed the George
Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M. A
secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, who supported the
invasion of Iraq, voted to label the Iranian Revolutionary
Guard a terrorist organization and called direct,
unconditional talks with Iran "irresponsible and frankly
naive." A national security adviser, retired Gen. James Jones,
most recently employed at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who
served as a special adviser to the Bush administration on the
Middle East. A Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, who is
one of Henry Paulson's closest allies outside the
administration. A head of the Council of Economic Advisers,
Christina Romer, whose writings and research seem to favor low
tax rates, stable money and free trade.

...Obama's appointments reveal something important about
current Bush policies. Though Obama's campaign savaged the
administration as incompetent and radical, Obama's personnel
decisions have effectively ratified Bush's defense and
economic approaches during the past few years. At the
Pentagon, Obama rehired the architects of President Bush's
current military strategy -- Gates, Gen. David Petraeus and
Gen. Raymond Odierno. At the Treasury Department, Obama has
hired one of the main architects of Bush's current economic
approach.
