Is Obama a thinker?

Definitely he must be a thinker otherwise how come he has become the president of America ! and may he likes to do things on the fly but still he would have a think tank with him on every matter.

I think Obama definitely thinks more so then Bush did anyway. But then again who doesn't? Back to your original question,I think its impossible to be a community organizer and not think. Trust me I am one and I know. We are always thinking about how to stretch that dollar further than it should ever have to go.

We haven't had all that much evidence on which to base an opinion, but he seems to be a thinker, indeed. A person can't get where he has gotten, or write a couple of wonderful books, without thinking quite deeply. His strategies seem well thought - out, also. Yes. I do think we have a thinker in charge at last!

I believe that is the million dollar question we're all doing...

I think he is an astute, driven individual. How much thinking he is actually allowed do for himself is another matter entirely. The thing people forget with Obama is that is is a man.....just a man , and is susceptible to the same failings as anyone else. I think there is too much hyperbole and expectation around him which may cloud his "normal" achievements. He is not a god nor a higher being and as much as I hope he does a great job and makes a difference people need to recalibrate their expectations.
