What did I say that is factually incorrect?

If Pres. Obama has made any concessions "to the right" it was to try and get democrats on board, because that's all he needed to get his legislation passed, and he couldn't do it. There is a lesson in this, and I doubt you'll identify the right one.

I agree that his concessions were partly made to appease democrats.. but it was mostly made for the right wing in general. The fact is, when you have a large majority like this, its because your party is in the center, and when that happens you're not going to be on the same page 100%.

As for using fear to get votes? Pres. Obama did plenty of that when passing the stimulus, and he tried hard during the healthcare debate. There is plenty of manipulative grime to spread around for both Bush and Obama.

Obama's version of fear mongering is "I might slap you on the wrist if you don't do it, maybe!" vs Bush's "We're all going to die, and you're in the same group with terrorists if you don't follow my lead"

Bottom line: Get the votes or Amend the Constitution. Thats it.

Speaking of votes, you do realize that filibusters are not in the constitution, and the republicans use it on EVERYTHING Obama supports. How many times has Obama even attempted to pass a bill under reconciliation?
