People keep repeating this.
But, nothing is more further from the truth.
All you have to do is listen to the hate filled spew out of Santorum and compare
that to the President's calm, measured, intelligent, kind, and positive demeanor, to realize
EVERYTHING has changed for the better. On edit: Everything about the proper demeanor
of a president (or presidential hopeful).

On and on.

(16,646 posts)Obama has a useful streak of self righteousness. You don't run for the office without a significant hubris streak. The difference I think you're seeing is that ambition without intelligence leads to despotism. Ambition with intelligence leads to accomplishment.

(13,141 posts)A change in the quality of character of the commander in chief is a big deal. But I hope it won't be a only one-term or only a two-term change. The First Family is setting a very high standard for intelligence & integrity, I hope others will follow.
