What made Jack Layton a better leader than Barack Obama:

“If you start with a compromise right at the beginning and no debate, you’re really only going with the status quo and buttering it up a little. No space is created for change to happen.” - Jack Layton

Both believed in positive campaigning, and talking about hope, the difference was that Jack came up with something positive to campaign on, a vision for the country first, and then campaigned on it and Obama on the other hand campaigned positive and then tried to cobble together a vision afterwards. The results for thier repective methods speak for themselves.

I'm not sure it's at all fair to Jack to even compare him to Obama.
