but like anyone else he can be wrong. Obama's appeal and message is not one without risk. It also is one that that has a great chance of working. In anything, whenever you are asked to defy conventional wisdom, you expose yourself up for scrunity, especially politics. The reality is those who have influence and power over both party establishments will not give up easily. Historic examples of presidents who had to use unconventional policies are FDR, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Most know how history and the voters judged each. In my opinion all of this Obama lack of experience talk is a crock.
