Just pretend to be someone you're not.

Obama can't catch a break from either side. Here is Chris Matthews saying that Obama needs to pretend to move towards the center because he's become too much of a populist. He needs to be more like Bill Clinton (wait what) and act more like a centrist so that he can push through his policies.

I don't understand how lying would ever work. And as far as I can tell, Obama is already pretty middle-of-the-road, what with all that "bipartisan" jargon he keeps coming out with.

But what do I know? I'm not Chris Matthews.
