According to Politico.Com -- DC's gossipy political newspaper -- Obama told the moderate "New Democratic Coalition" that he is one of the gang:
“I am a New Democrat,” he told the New Democrat Coalition, according to two sources at the White House session. . . .
He said he “supports free and fair trade,” according to one attendee, and noted that he was “very concerned about a return to protectionism.”
Obama made similar comments last month during his trip to Canada – America’s largest trading partner – and has shied away from the NAFTA-bashing he engaged in during last year’s Democratic primary.
Last year, calling Obama a "moderate" would have caused leftwing bloggers to spew molten lava (I have the scars to prove it). Times have changed. I do not see him as a fiscal conservative. He is cutting taxes and spending -- just like Bush!

Former GITMO Detainee Now Taliban Commander of Southern Tier Forces in Afghanistan
Great. . . .

U.S. authorities handed over the detainee to the Afghan government, which in turn released him, according to Pentagon and CIA officials.
