Extremely smart, extremely capable man, but he had a mean streak and knew how to hold a grudge.
Ahhhh.... But doesn't a President need a mean streak? Shouldn't everyone know there's going to be a price if you cross him?

I think that's Obama's mean weakness - just the same as Carter's - nobody thinks he's a prick. If he gets elected, Congress is going to eat his lunch - especially if the Democrats have a big majority.
