Why can't we have both? I like Obama on the issues and I admire his character. I am about half-way through his first book, Dreams from my Father. It's an incredibly honest and insightful examination of his own person, his strengths and as well as his weaknesses. His life seems to be an extension of this self-examination. I often think that if Bill Clinton were willing to do the same, he would have been a brilliant leader instead of just a brilliant politician. He was undone by lack of character, and it really hurt his (and our) causes.
