What if Obama Had Been A Republican All Along?

He would win the Senate in Illinois and become the darling if Republicans who then were at least borderline sane. He would win the nomination for the Presidency in 2008 in a walk. He would win the Presidential  election in a Reagan-like sweep. He would have gotten most of his program through with relative ease citing Republican history and appealing to progressive instincts. Instead of bashing Bush as a Democrat he would simply bided his time as a Republican and done what needed to be done. All told, he might have been smarter to take that route. The result of his being a Democrat who is actually a moderate Republican centrist creates such a ballistic dynamic that the GOP is destroying itself in response. Meanwhile, the Democrats threaten his political future because of their tepid support. None of this has traction in the media because the media accepts the phony GOP rap on the President and thus misses who he actually is and how he actually governs. The whole thing is, on one level, a laugh riot. I am hoping it is not also a crying shame.
