Haley Barbour: Obama's one of the greatest politicians in U.S. history

In discussing the ongoing budget battle in Wisconsin, and the attempt to end certain collective bargaining rights for public employee unions, Barbour suggested Obama is “quiet because he understands most Americans know this has to be done” and does not want to be on the losing side of this political battle. Barbour’s honest assessment of Obama’s political capabilities may provide the clearest hint yet why no Republican has officially announced their intention to run for President: the strength of the Obama political machine might be too hard to overcome.
