I'm not convinced that short term political considerations cause coming to one's senses. At least not with someone like Obama. He likes to say he's "pragmatic", though. I would call him mendacious. His pragmatism really amounts to saying one thing while doing another. Example: his stimulus bill and budget were exercises in fiscal restraint. [Yeah, right.] He's changed Bush policies on terrorism, Gitmo, etc. [In words, perhaps, but not substance.] It's all smoke and mirrors. I agree that he's grown up on the radical left/socialist view, which he probably regards as more middle of the road than 90 % of Americans. Whether he's an ideologue, I don't know. I am more inclined to think of him as ego-centric. People like that don't "come to their senses." They just keep the balls in the air trying to fool people.
