Obama Will Learn From His Mistakes.

Election Night Is The Easiest Time To Act Like A Grownup.

Movies Such As 'mr. Smith Goes To Washington' In 1939 To 'dave' In 1993 Portray Washington Leaders As The Ultimate Everymen - Decent People Just Like You And Me, Only Thrust Onto Greatness.

President George W. Bush Won Reelection In 2004 Largely Because He Was Seen As Comfortable In His Own Skin, While Rival John Kerry Was Viewed As A Flip-flopping Opportunist.

Clearly, The Obama Presidency Hasn't Wiped Out Racial Prejudices.

Historians Will Likely Give Obama Credit For Steering The Country Away From The Brink Of Economic Collapse In 2009.
