Is the absence of a trend a trend? Much like Sherlock Holmes' non-barking nocturnal canine, the remarkable thing about President Barack Obama's poll n...

What puts this first year in perspective for me is that: Obama may not be smarter than all of us, but he sure is smarter by a long shot than McCain would have been. And that, for now, is enough for me.
