A comment from George Will that I thought was an interesting comparison (article here):
Obama is the Democrats' Reagan. Obama's rhetorical cotton candy lacks Reagan's ideological nourishment, but he is Reaganesque in two important senses: People like listening to him, and his manner lulls his adversaries into underestimating his sheer toughness — the tempered steel beneath the sleek suits.
I'm not going to do much political commentary here -- at least not about political candidates -- but I'd never thought about Obama in this way and I thought it was worth sharing.
