Barack Obama is many things; among them, he is a tough and even ferocious political warrior.

I like Barack Obama.

Barack Obama is an elegant and literate man with a cosmopolitan sense of the world. He is widely read in philosophy, literature, and history - as befits a former law professor - and he has shown time and again a surprising interest in contemporary fiction.

Barack Obama has brought glamour back to American politics - not the faux glamour-by-association of campaigning with movie stars or sailing with the Kennedys, but the real thing. The candidate himself is glamorous. Audiences project onto him the personal qualities and political positions they want in a president.

I would also say Barack Obama has spent much, much, much, much more money than the Republicans.

It's as if inside the White House the belief in Obama's inspirational charisma is still such that every time the ugliness of brute politics intrudes, it's a startling revelation.

I think Barack Obama is one of the most exciting politicians to come along in a long time.

If you want to look right now under Obama who our enemies are, just look at who he is nice to.

Obama's an angry guy. He's got a chip on his shoulder.

Barack Obama is an economic patriot.
