Making a Mountain out of a Molehill

I fail to see why everyone's flipping out over Obama's "move to the center." I see this as a good thing. The majority of Americans are independent and centrist in their political ideologies. Do we not want a president who (*gasp*) represents the people?!?!? People are calling this a "flip-flop." I also fail to see why Americans are so anti-"flip-flop." Why would we want a president who is absolute and would never reconsider his or her views? I see such an unwillingness to change one's mind as a liability instead of an advantage. This is the power of the media and talking heads.
