George W. was a conservative who got elected by posing as a centrist. And got re-elected only because of Al Qaeda.

Barack is a centrist who, it now seems, got elected by posing as a liberal. And who now seems to be getting ready to resume that pose for re-election.

What does this imply? That both of them know perfectly well that though conservative policies may be favored by their cronies and backers, they were never what the voting public wanted.

1. I beg to differ

GW won through election fraud in FL 1st, then Ohio 2nd. A right-wing stacked Supreme Court anointed him president the first time.

2. Whether by fraud or not, GWB posed as a right-of-center candidate

Which is the point the OP was trying to make - period.
