I don’t disagree with your take on it. The one minor difference is this.
While I do think Obama will be much more prone to do things for political gain, I do think he’ll do what he thinks is best for the nation. Now, the major problem I see there is somewhat akin to a ten year old trying to handle grown up situations. The ten year old may be trying to do the right thing with all his heart. He still won’t have the savvy to make all the decisions he would be faced with.
Obama will not have the savvy to handle all he will be faced with. He’s going to make monumental mistakes often. Obama’s moves regarding Gitmo and the other terrorist prisons and abortion have been only the first of those.
Obama is too smart by half. He’s going to destroy himself by implementing policy that he thinks is solid. The problem will be, that it isn’t at all as solid as he thinks.
Our problem is that the policy he thinks is sound and best for this nation, is extremely flawed and absolutely terrible for this nation.
I’m not convinced he’s trying to destroy this nation, as much as I am convinced this pretender is in way over his head.
This guy gives all the appearance of being a puppet. He may agree with what his puppet masters want him to do, but I don’t think he’s sharp enough to be doing this all on his own. He just doesn’t have the background experience to be able to do it on his own IMO.

I do tend to agree with you on that.
However, I also believe that his puppet masters do NOT want what’s in the best interest of the nation.
Considering how he (in my view) came out of nowhere to run for President, and then got elected, I've felt that he had some powerful backers who are running things behind the scenes. I'm not saying that he doesn't have some great abilities as a speaker (there is a thread about his use of hand gestures and phrases and NLP tehniques that are useful for getting anyone who watches and listens to you to start thinking whatever you're saying is right) but he is obviously out of his league dealing with real problems and other threats to our nation on a national and international scale.
