I was thinking along the lines that Broder's and other's obsession with an arbitrary political spectrum is lazy policy analysis.

Obama's never been an ideologue. Obama is a pragmatist, and that doesn't fit inside Broder's idea of a rigid left-right spectrum (with different relative positions having clear-cuts beliefs). Right or wrong, he's going to do what he thinks will work the best and still has the best chance of getting passed.
