"Perhaps the most substantive difference between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton involves style
...With one shunning politics and the other understanding that nearly all of all Americas most successful presidents embraced, thrived, and enjoyed politics from the top to the bottom as a very necessary evil that empowered them and their agendas and made them more effective leaders."

(13,390 posts)Her style is much more masculine than Obama's. As the author notes, bullying and heavy handedness and hawkishness are more in the machismo tradition of Teddy Roosevelt.
Obama is graceful and classy and non confrontational. Even some Democrats have been craving a president who acts like a reality TV bully for a president. Sadly we're back to conflict and arrogance no matter who gets elected. I hope it turns out to be a useful strategy for Hillary, but I have a lot of doubts.
