Will the Real President Obama Please Stand Up?

A few of this blogs readers remember the TV show "To Tell the Truth."   Three people claimed to be who one of them actually was. At the end of the segment the moderator would say  "would the real whoever, please stand up."  Victor Davis Hanson hits this theme in his latest article in  National Review on President Obama.
Obama versus Obama
Will the real Barack Obama (if there is one) please stand up?
There is little need any more to offer consistent opposition to Barack Obama, since he himself is already running hard against the many previous incarnations of Barack Obama.
The first one we met was Barack the radical progressive, in his primary campaign against Hillary. Then in the general election we were introduced to the centrist Obama, who promised to invade Pakistan if need be, called for an end to partisanship, and lectured about fiscal sobriety.

Then with congressional majorities, soaring public support, and obsequious media attention came the leftist ideologue President Obama, who tried to ram through a statist health-care regime, gobbled up private enterprises, and gave us Anita Dunn and Van Jones.

Now we are back to sorta centrist Obama, who is going to fight terror, not apologize any more to the Muslim world, and freeze spending rather than give us another $2 trillion in debt.

These serial reset Obamas are quite astonishing even for a politician.
Professor Hanson then goes into details. Read it all.
