"The movie ends with the former beauty queen shaking out her pinned-up hair, taking off her glasses, slipping on ruby red peep-toe platform heels that reveal a pink French-style pedicure, and facing down Vladimir Putin on an island in the Bering Strait. Putting away her breast pump, she points her rifle and informs him frostily that she has some expertise in Russia because it's close to Alaska. 'Back off, Commie dude,' she says. 'I'm a much better shot than Cheney.'"

I thught about that JtS and it's understandable, but there is a huge difference between Obama as against Clinton or Reagan. The latter spoke their minds. Clinton wouldn't shut up on intricate policy issues of any magnitude. Obama holds his tongue unless the subject is palatable to the masses.

His smashing of the Clinton machine was impressive, but on the other hand, he was placed together with David Axelrod, genius campaign organizer. He got along with a lot of people to get there. For all of his intellect and poise, leadership hasn't been on his list of strong points, yet. He could even end up a rubber stamp President to a Democratic Congress.
