Obama in Hindsight

Blogging at Power Line, regular Paul Mirengoff asks the question:
Is Obama as shallow as he seems?
Unsurprisingly he concludes the answer is “yes.” Then he quotes an Obama appraisal done by Rich Lowry:
[T]he deepest truth about Obama is that there is no depth. He’s smart without being wise. He’s glib without being eloquent. He’s a celebrity without being interesting. He’s callow.
Too kind, perhaps, but true as far as it goes. It entirely ignores Obama’s dishonesty and self-absorption, both of which are anything but shallow.
