Barrack Obama is a bright guy, never think that he isn't. He has the ability to think about problems in an abstract form, and come up with some pretty good insights. For this the Liberals and Media have fallen in love with the beguiling voice of Barrack Obama.
However as stated previously the problem for Barrack is where the rubber meets the road. For personality causes stemming from his childhood he separates his intellectual capacity from his emotional grounding. this is reflected in his cool, calm and collected demeanor. This separation is also reflected in his having to use a teleprompter to remain coherent when speaking publicly. The problem for Barrack is in not becoming too obtuse in his speeches with his intellectual abstractions, his inability to think on his feet, requiring a period of reflection before coming to a conclusion and the inability to put into motion coordinated action instead we get a dissembling array of vicissitudes.
However for myself the joke about Obama is how easy he is to predict. His abstractions are are very superficial in nature which only have the air of profundity. For if he truly were on his game he would have understood the necessity of integrating that intellect with is emotional grounding. For it is the intersection of where emotion and intellect converge that the ability of Imagination can manifest itself with being able to descend that ladder into the depths of meaning, reason and process.

One can not remain a Liberal
One can not remain a Liberal if one has intergrated intellect with emotion. Fo r to truly intergrate intellect and emotion requires that one goes all the way into their emotional reality. Coming out the other side of that experience Liberalism just appears as a foolish fantasy that has the same chimera as Alice in Wonderland. Or should I say Nancy in Wonderland...
