Already, President Obama has been compared to a Colonial Despot and Richie Cunningham. But you can't understand anything about his leadership until you know, that if nothing else, Obama is a Player (or, ‘playa,' if you will).

For those who don't know, the movie, "How to Be a Player," with Bernie Mac and Bill Bellamy, explains the game. Players have a ‘steady' (a faithful, trusting girlfriend or wife) and then all their other girls on the side. Using deceit and flattery, the Player tries to balance all his love affairs at once.

Since the campaign, he's styled himself not as the man he is, but as the man most likely to seduce his audience. Consider all the conflicting statements on health care, Afghanistan, and missile defense. But he was labeled the ‘great communicator' and adored. His rhetoric seemed to prove the adage, ‘If your rap is strong, you can't go wrong.'
