Not entirely. He's got a few sticking points in my mind as well.

Based on this new Obama development, we're now looking at Ron Paul (again), and wondering if he might make a run as an independent this fall.

Ron Paul is great aside from the fact that he's a complete nutter.

Article from Slate on Obama's turn to the right, Constitutional Drift:
Obama veers to the right, but does he need to take the Constitution with him?

Not a day goes by, it seems, without a constitutional wink to the right on guns (he thinks there is an individual right to own one), the wall of separation between church and state (he thinks it can be lowered), the Fourth Amendment prohibition on warrantless wiretapping (he's changed his position on FISA), and on the death penalty for noncapital child rape cases (he thinks it's constitutional) as well as a possible shift this week on the right to abortion (which could further limit the reach of Roe v. Wade).

It's expected that candidates go toward the center after the primaries, but damn.
