In that case, Obama would be wise to move to the center (as Bill Clinton did after the Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994) and work with congressional Republicans to shape sensible tax and entitlement reforms. But that seems unlikely: since the Democrats’ massive defeat in 2010, Obama has moved even further to the left, embracing a more populist agenda.
无论如何，奥巴马肯定会转向政治中心（正如比尔·克林顿在1994年民主党失去对国会的控制后所做的那样），与国会中的共和党一起制定明智的税收和福利改革。但这似乎是不可能完成的任务：自从民主党在2010年惨遭滑铁卢以来，奥巴马便与左翼渐行渐远，采取了更加民粹主义的立场。
