President Obama has apparently talked a good enough game to convince many pundits and conservatives believe he is making a Clintonesque move to the center. I disagree. Today a report surfaced that a move is being made once again to give the President a kill switch to shut down private computer systems in the case of a cyber attack without the possibility of court review. While the President has recently spoken regarding the reduction of onerous and ineffective regulations, asking regulatory agencies to review and eliminate them. Funny that the huge regulatory nightmare that is Obamacare (see this chart) hasn't been mentioned as part of this drive to reduce burdensome regulations. He still is seeking to use federal regulatory agencies to bypass the Congress and enact his policies. There's no move to the center, just the President writing an editorial praising Ronald Reagan, who he likely despised (and what the hell does he mean Reagan saw we are all patriots?).
