All of that becomes clear as we look at what Barack Obama, the "new sheriff in town," has to deal with as troubles rear up in the forms that tell us exactly where we are on the frontier of American experience. Obama shows that he is ready and far more shrewd than many who thought him no more than a charming motivational speaker who could, at best, move from his preferred world of the cool into the sweaty hair shirts of the hot whenever necessary.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-17/the-new-sheriff-in-washington/">The way that our almost new president dealt with the old fashioned race hustle enunciated by Bobby Rush at a press conference held by then Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Roland Burris, his selection to replace Obama in the Senate, is highly instructive.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-17/the-new-sheriff-in-washington/"><P class="PullQuote">Obama chose to walk into the lion's den of the social and financial conservatives and, like Daniel, impressed the lions more than they did him.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3A8CB356-7FA7-457B-96C9-15D0324653FD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
