Obama is actually starting to remind me of Paul Keating. Both had some talents, although not as much as they thought they did, and were able to come from behind and win after most had written them off, due largely to their incredible self belief verging on delusion. The problem was that, having done the politically impossible, they then started to believe their own propaganda and refused to listen to anyone with a contradictory line, even those from their own party who were genuinely trying to assist them. Keating of course was written off with one of the largest political swings in Australian history. Obama, well the mid terms are only a few weeks away I believe, we'll see.<br /><br />Two differences of course were that Keating a) actually did some useful stuff earlier in his political career and b) had a legendary line in foul mouthed political invective - I believe Obama had someone to do that for him in the person of his Chief of Staff.cacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935370618605188900.post-3192091874827933562010-10-18T20:00:05.070-04:002010-10-18T20:00:05.070-04:00and when has he ever not been on the campaign trai...<i>and when has he ever not been on the campaign trail?</i><br /><br />When he has been on vacation.
