I have long been a fan of Shelby Steele's. This thoughtful article is a very welcome addition to the ongoing discussion about our mysterious President.

I don’t like to say that “Sarah Palin is Ronald Reagan” because I think the whole point is that Sarah Palin in Sarah Palin. But it really bears saying that making individual choices, and being willing to take any lumps that follow, but standing by your principles and doing what you believe is right — that’s how a great politician is made. I believe that many, many people will be hungry for an honest person with principles — what those principles are may hardly matter — but people will be looking for Integrity, and there are very few people on the national scene who have that.

Mr. Obama won the presidency by achieving a symbiotic bond with the American people: He would labor not to show himself, and Americans would labor not to see him.

Very well put!

I do, however, think Obama has an agenda and is not just a hollow shell that has floated way out of its depth, borne on the waves of white guilt. That he might be a little inept at getting it through is only a temporary problem, and I think we'll see his fangs beginning to grow more visible in the coming year.

It’s sad. I’ve known of many politically correct appointees to high positions in administration and management whose only job was to sit there and be black. Obama’s one, for sure.

Haven’t seen the word “individuating” since reading Jung.
Great observation on the manchild versus Reagan.

Another problem that applies to the Left is that they all believe they are white knights riding to the rescue. They have no clue about their dark side, what Jung called the Shadow.

WIKIPEDIA-Steele was born to a black father and a white mother. His father, Shelby, Sr., a black truck driver, met his mother, Ruth, a white social worker, while working for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). His twin brother is Columbia University Provost Claude Steele.

Mr Steele is bi-racial same as Obama but actually has real slave blood in him. While Obama is the by product of a Kenyan student who was just passing through and an American hippie mother. Shelby is a real American....Obama=post modern faker who would good in a sculpture in the Guggenheim Museum
