never ask commentators to distinguish between political analysis and policy analysis.  The two are often quite different -- in fact, they are often complete opposites.  For example, I would have told you that Bill Clinton was a great politician -- but a bad president.

Similarly, if you were asking me to judge Obama's style and adeptness at public relations -- and the skillfulness in which he has sold his message to the public these first 100 days -- I would likely give him at least a solid 'B'.

As such, I've settled on assigning him a 'C' -- which is, I think, generous.
