Andie Coller of Politico.com reports that some Democrats are getting very concerned that President Obama may be branded as a liberal by his own party.  Andie quotes Drew Westin, a political psychology expert, as essentially saying that less radical liberal congressmen should stop referring to themselves as "moderate".  By doing so, the implication is that Obama and his pals on the left are not so "moderate".  Why, heavens to Betsy, someone might actually mistake them for liberals!

Horror of horrors!  But, as Andie reports, liberal and conservative are passé appellations and need to be updated.

In the meantime, Westen suggests, Obama and like-minded legislators ought to claim the mantle of moderation for themselves - before it's too late.

"When you hear one of the conservative Democrats say, ‘I don't think we should be pushing forward on things like health care or energy right now, because we're in a big hole already fiscally - that's not a position that needs to be branded as a moderate position," he says.
