Obama might be more of an ideologue, less able to adapt.

Obama may be an ideologue, but he’s also kind of an empty suit. I have seen his type before—he will be dominated by those around him with strong wills (Nancy, Rahm, etc; they will pretend to act on his behalf. As long as the image is one of harmony, sweetness, and light—Obama won’t make waves.

I remember reading something by someone who was at the Harvard Review with him and she said he listened to everyone and then did what he wanted.

Of course it would be a harder to do that as president but I personally think his mind is made up...the only uncertain part is how much he can get away with.
