Interesting that you're equating Obama with Cicero, one of the Roman empire's great leaders.
It's a good comparison given they're both lawyers and politicians as well as great speakers, and you're right to ascribe that quote to Obama's actions even if his words say different. He's definitely governing to the right of Clinton and even GW Bush assuming you exclude social issues where Bush wanted more government oversight of people's private lives. Oddly that puts Obama philosophically slightly to the left of me, which normally I'd be happy with but I can't get over his lack of leadership and the whole patriot act thing.
