And that he was - one shouldn't take that in a positive way.

Obama is also transitional, he is making great changes in how America is viewed by the world, he shows how diplomacy is a much better solution than knee jerk jerking, how the ACA could make inroads for full and proper health care.

Obama transits to the left and the needs of the many, Reagan transited to make the rich richer and the poor suffer more.
