Obama the Centrist?

With current political leniency towards a more centralized government, we hear the left speak conservative while they spread their cloaked agenda in the legislature and through small and big towns alike. President Obama likes to portray himself as a centralist, and so does the mainstream media but it must capture the attention of even the seldom news follower when Hugo Chavez a known and proud socialist wants to help Obama. Chavez considers him intelligent, and that he has good intentions, but why? Could it be that he sees him as a fellow revolutionary or at least in contrast anyone from the right, and that his intentions are to grow the government and make it a more socialized, and make business more regulated and answerable to a government entity? With less freedom to live the way, and do business you see fit, it is becoming clear what path we are going towards now.
