You can, and it's very easy to do so. Anarcho-syndicalism at least.

Yeah, but then U.S in terms of economic issues in the world context has always been more towards the right. Unless forced towards the left like with the recession.

That's true, but doesn't that sort of back up my point?
There's absolutely no doubt that there's been a rightwards shift in some factors, such as on climate change etc.

Would a more baked version have passed though?
A center to right or even more right politician would never propose that in any case if you look at it that way. A half baked version is still more towards the left than the right.

That he still advocated it makes him centre-right. Sometimes you are forced into positions rather than have them by your own volition, but it's still your position. It's still his policy.

In any case even a center of left or a centrist politician can take positions sometimes on the right on some issues. And as for Pol SCi definitions i have seen both Obama and Romney being mentioned as Center of right in different sites and news organisation, but i don't see how both are possible.
The fight seems to be for the center or center of right space in the USA right now and everyone wants to portray themselves in that space.

Obama is centre right. Romney is further right. This is fairly standard polisci analysis here, nothing groundbreaking.
