Just watching the differing styles Obama and Cameron at the G20.
Cameron treats every time he opens his mouth as if it was a Political Party Broadcast (Lying), Obama is far more easy going and credible sounding.
I read both his autobiographies. Obama has my respect as being one of the most caring, intelligent, and analytical men I've ever known. He truly understands human nature and law as it applies to his fellow countrymen and how it affects the world as a whole. I've heard him referred to as a cold man because he has a depth of understanding few men do and he uses it in his decisions with in his own very tight group. How ever, in public he can be very compelling. A lot of people don't see that and therefore brand him cold and distant. I think he weighs his political capitol and understands his decisions and plays the situation to it's advantage as best he can. He is very much the socialist liberal that the country as a whole the country is not ready for (see recent elections). There is one large thing also hanging on his head that he is aware of and that is that
he is black. It makes not one bit of difference to me, but you would be surprised at how many people it does matter to.
