>Being that Obama is right of center...
Wow. It didn't even take a whole sentence for you lose credibility.
>...and that the GOP establishment has no "agenda" other than opposing Obama for the sake of it...
Based on what evidence? You don't think they have policy disagreements with the president? So what is their motive, anyway?
>Is it his continued support of the Military Industrial Complex? That seems to be in line with the conservative notion of "national defense is holy and must not be questioned".
That's a lefty straw man. Isn't true and never was.
>Is it his continued support of Wall Street and other big economic players? I thought you people liked that stuff?
Wall Street certainly bankrolls the party apparatus for both the Democrats and Republicans. Actual conservatives want to see an end to QE, but I doubt that will happen even if we take the presidency in 2016 (which is likely).
>Is it his disengagement with the War on Drugs? Well, good Americans don't do drugs so that can't be a problem. Being soft on crime is bad, m'kay?
Another straw man. The Republican party is split right down the middle on the question of drug policy. You know who wants to continue the drug war almost unanimously? Democrats.
>Maybe it's his weakness in backing down on torture as an intelligence tool. But he does at least carry on the tradition of letting the "intelligence community" do whatever the fuck they want with impunity. So there he's good with keeping with tradition, and we know how conservatives love tradition.
This is incoherent.
>I know, it must be his extending a Republican approved healthcare plan.
Eh... this is so far out in left field I have to assume you're drunk.
