Obama as disciple of Niebuhr

I came across a thought provoking article in the New York Times that paints Obama as a disciple of Reinhold Niebuhr, as reviving the Christian Realism that undergirded cold war liberal thinking. Never having been entirely comfortable with the moral pragmatism of Niebuhr, I don't take this as particularly reassuring.
