摘要

Regarding "America's missing middle" (November 5th), Barack Obama has pulled his party so far to the left that fewer and fewer Americans find themselves in the shifted "middle". The old centre and, as you said, 75% of Americans, do not think that the Democrats' $800 billion stimulus bet was the track to take. There is little chance that this president will move to that centre. In the 2010 mid-term elections the Republicans ate Mr Obama's breakfast, lunch and dinner.
