In another life, before job, religion, and family were important, I was obsessed with the game of go. If you haven't studied go at least a little bit, I expect you will find my thought gibberish.

I believe how one plays go is insightful to at least one's intelligence, if not their character. And Obama would be a much better go player than Clinton.

Clinton's go personality:
She is a strong tactical fighter. But she tries to win with hamete (plagiarism claims ...) and plays her stones heavily (i.e.big state, all in). She destroys weak opponents. She is not the most fun to play against. Her style of play is more Korean.

Obama's go personality:
He plays a large Moyo strategy(i.e. 50state). He playes lightly, and is hard to force him into a tactical fight. He lets the little stuff go, his strategy to is to handily beat, not crush. His opponents will be able to save face. His play is Japanese.

Tactics vs Strategy:
While a knowledge of tactics are needed to play, a good strategist can repeatedly make tactical concessions locally, but make up for it with strategic vision. A strong president should focus on strategy, not tactics.
