10. And perhaps will wind up like the Cheshire Cat...
...slowly fading out and leaving nothing but a smile.

What was most disturbing was when he was proud that he was a slate upon which people could draw their own conclusions...

This is a time for forthright and even domineering leadership, not coy maneuvering.

11. Sounds like...
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/everyones-own-private-obama/article1325342/


I think Obama is Obama. A lot of people give him a total pass based on his charisma and political skills. A lot of people unfairly hate him based on his party, history, and racial background. I think few take steps back to focus on his policy.

It seems like only history will have a good chance of giving him a fair shake.

Hoover did some constructive things. He just didn't do enough.

9. If Obama is like LBJ regarding keeping us engaged in a no-win war I would also hope
that he could be like LBJ as regards civil rights and Medicare.

31. Yeah, and then we can get a Repub President again! Oh, the joy!
Are you nuts? LBJ served one term and look what we ended up with? Don't let your hate for Obama cloud your judgment.

19. Obama is Chester A. Arthur.
He's fat, sleeps a lot, and shops at Brooks Brothers.

29. And he has to do everything the way they did everything...
no matter what we need to repeat history as much possible. Obama needs to follow the republicons play book also or he will be considered weak even though every policy the CONS implement fails.,

33. All presidents ultimately have more in common than one would suspect
I think the office molds them, the responsibility is enormous.
