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.

LBJ took it to extremes (including possibly murder (who knows for sure, but there is a decent rumor about it)). Read some stuff on him, even harden politicians thought he was a bastard. Bill Moyers had a pretty funny story about it when Johnson asked him why no one liked him. Forgot exactly how it went, but the answer pretty much was "because you are a bastard sir".
