Clinton was the ultimate politician. He knew when to push and when to pull, when to stand firm and when to capitulate, when to use the bully pulpit and when to use the backroom. Obama is nowhere near the polished politicain Clinton was, but in fairness, he has encountered bitter partisan opposition that was not nearly as fierce in BCs time. Is Romney in that class - I doubt it, however IF he gets in office, chances are he will have a republican majority for the first two years. Would he use it wisely? That is the 64 billion dollar question
