Who is Barack Obama?

Many have likened Obama to JImmy Carter, a comparison that Glenn Reynolds insists is a best-case scenario. Whatever Obama decides to do with General McChrystal — Glenn Thrush suggests that this might be McChrystal’s “MacArthur moment” — Harry Truman he is not. Indeed, he is the un-Truman.
Now Jeb Bush has got me thinking. In Matt Bai’s New York Times article on him, Jeb characterizes Obama as “Hubert Humphrey on steroids.” I see what he means, but I think that LBJ on estrogen might be more like it.
