"The Barack I Knew"

This article on townhall.com by Carol Platt Liebau, who worked with Obama many years ago on the Harvard Law Review, is fascinating. She is a strong conservative who doesn't agree with Obama on much of anything policy-wise...yet she has many complimentary things to say about him.

She said he is:

• intelligent
• colorblind
• self-confident
• a good listener
• has a great sense of humor

As Obama is my choice (at least early on), this sounds pretty encouraging, coming from a conservative.
