    Yes, Hitler made a fatal miscalculation based on faulty intelligence in launching Barbarossa. Up until that moment, he presided over a stunning reversal of fortunes in Germany that saw the chaotic, bankrupt Weimar Republic transform into the world's most productive economy. He was able to win over the German people despite espousing a very radical ideology, consolidate his power, and outsmart both his domestic opposition and the international community leading to the high tide of European conquest in '41. Any argument against his political effectiveness must be based in emotion and not fact.

    On the other hand, Barack Obama came to Washington with the biggest mandate since Ron Reagan and almost immediately squandered it. He has had terrible message control, has allowed himself to be torn apart by his opposition, and has been pushed by the military industrial complex into a troop surge in Afghanistan only to have it undermined by succumbing to the demands of the Left. He spent most of his time struggling to pass one major piece of legislation and eventually abandoned it, only to have it revived and pushed through by the very politically effective House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In terms of pure goal attainment, who looks better?
