I think you are right.

Obama is a very very slick politician and more of a pragmatist than a doctrinnaire lib. He used the Wright Church to get into the Illinois Senate and then dumped him when he became inconvenient. He may have used the American libs for the same reason.

He made an intersting statement recently. He mentioned the number of votes he got and then the number McCain got. Obviously no landslide.

A pragmatist like him probably took the hint.

Liberal yes - but probably not so liberal than he can’t learn from experience and act appropriately to assure his coninuted political popularity.

I underestimated him. He is a lot smarter than Hillary and may be smarter than Bill Clinton.

I never underestimated Obama, but I didn’t think he would get this far. Everything played out in his favor, the financial crisis( republicans staying home, republicans having a weaker candidate)For not for this he may not have won.
Obama is no smarter than anybody else.
He’s a better politician that Hillary, but if he were smarter than Bill. He wouldn’t be using Bill’s staff.
