I guess I wasn't thinking about any kind of official definition of a policy wonk -- I was more thinking of the belief that a well written policy framework was more important than an actual solution to a problem.

I agree that Obama is in love with ideas, but doesn't want to be bogged down in detail or have to get his hands dirty. You know, to get anything meaningful done, you have to be willing to get in there and slug it out.

Both Newt and Obama rather remind me of what I hated about Washington. Too much talk, not enough getting things done. Never time to do it right, but always time to do it over. Creating problems to be solved, just to be able to get the credit for solving them (and patting oneself on the back), yet never taking on the real issue.
