I admit it: CNN and President Obama got me.
Last night, CNN reported that after President Obama took the oath, signed his official Cabinet nominations and signed a proclamation of national renewal and reconciliation, he revealed his shift to the center is over.
"I'm a lefty. Get used to it," Obama quipped as he signed his name. "I was told not to swipe the pen."
The CNN report might have caused someone like me to post something like this:
As the most liberal senator, Obama found it convenient to campaign to left of Hillary. As the Democrats' nominee, Obama found it necessary to try to shift toward the center. Now that he is President, Obama seems comfortable being himself.
It was going to be such a good story until I saw the following video:
CNN failed to mention that Obama was referring to his penmanship, not his politics.
