Obama's Freudian Slips

President Barack Obama, fresh from his drubbing in the 2010 midterms, is trying to revive his fortunes by pursuing a path toward the middle.

But Obama's effort to overhaul his image is encumbered by conflicting impressions of who he is that have been engraved in voters' minds by his own words.

"They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

"I think when you spread the wealth around," Obama told him, "it's good for everybody."

"I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."

"We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

Not my words. His. Now he's eating them.
