Reply #3: I think he's uniquely Obama.

Probably the smartest president we've had since JFK, who was incredibly quick on his feet. I find myself wishing that Obama was more willing to get down and dirty in support of the progressive ideals that put him in office; I think there's a way in which he lacks the political killer instinct of people like Bush. Maybe that's a good thing, ultimately, since everything Bush did was based on false pretenses.
