Obama undecided on Judge Roberts

Remember a few months ago when Barack Obama was Illinois' best known senator?

Well, despite Dick Durbin's newly found prominence, Obama hasn't gone away. From AP:

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama said Thursday he hasn't decided whether he will vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.

Roberts clearly has the legal background and intellect to serve, Obama said. But the Chicago Democrat said he wonders whether Roberts has the wisdom and balance to be a Supreme Court justice.

``In every walk of life, you know people who are really smart but have no sense,'' Obama said.

As for the last sentence, is Barack talking about his fellow Democrats?
