I see. So the wars, tax policy, financial regulation, energy policy, horse slaughter—none of these are significant in the face of the spuriously "leftwing" healthcare bill that Gingrich just recently supported (out of residual lefty-ism, of course) and the Republicans themselves devised twenty-ish years ago before deciding a massive PR campaign starring Death Panels was cynically required?
And where is this liberal agenda you say he pushed through early on? TARP? Bailing out the auto industry? Show me something persuasive, ikes.

Also, it's pretty rare for centrist presidents to have **** approval ratings.
Come on, dude. You're not even trying with this one.
Anyway, here's an
old timey article for a quick, no-mental-gymnastics snapshot (and reality check) from 2010
before the November surge by congressional Republicans. Yeah, they really reigned in his flaming liberalism. Gawd, he's so loathsomely distant on the political spectrum from a moderate Republican. (But like only in secret! But we sense it's there, biding its time! *cue hysterical panting*)
