President Obama is perhaps the most ideologically-motivated president in American history. But according to the ultimate authority, Barack Obama, he's a mere pragmatist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Barack Obama is many things; among them, he is a tough and even ferocious political warrior.
Barack Obama is one of the greatest politicians in American history.
I think that Barack Obama faces a level of divisiveness, and I don't mean on a national level in terms of the North and the South and the Civil War; I really mean just politically.
I - obviously, I'm not a big fan of President Obama. I think he's been one of our weakest presidents. I just fundamentally disagree with him philosophically.
I'm not sure if President Obama is an ideologue or a pragmatist. I am hoping and praying he's a pragmatist.
I would say that Barack Obama has always been a real optimist about what can be accomplished. He believes that government can be used to create systemic, long-term, real change. And the first lady is more of a skeptic.
Part of Obama's persona is self-reliance. He's calm; he's cool; he's self-possessed. In many ways, he has tried to define himself in opposition to Clinton's sometimes needy, often undisciplined, emotionalism.
I like Barack Obama.
Obama is a great leader. He can fire people up and get them to do what he wants.
Rhetorically, President Obama is a champion of bipartisanship. In practice, though, he is almost always its enemy.
