Blunt: Obama much better prepared than Clinton

Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt, who announced his decision to leave his post as minority whip, says Republicans should not assume President-Elect Barack Obama will immediately pursue a far left wing agenda:

But Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the minority whip, who announced his retirement from leadership yesterday, cautioned Republicans against presuming that Democrats will "overreach" with a liberal agenda. Blunt said Obama ran his campaign carefully enough to suggest that he will not fall into the Capitol Hill traps that snared President Bill Clinton in 1993.

"He's much better prepared," Blunt said of Obama.
