He wasn't completely naive about politics because most of his significant appointments were from the old highly experienced pool with serious ties to Clinton.

It's also a lot of fun to dig the old threads from 2008 and see what people were posting back then and compare to how things happened
Yeah... I don't know if that's such a good idea lol! That would really be a slap in my face... Wait!! I wasn't here then lol! Home free!! Woot.

All said and done, I understand where the OPs concerns lay. Though in all honesty, I have to conclude that him keeping his mouth shut (Obama) wouldn't be what I want in these times. I am not even sure I would call his remarks heavy handed. I mean technically, we are still at war with N. Korea.
