I really do hope Obama has it--and by "it" I mean the ability to get us out of this mess we're in--because he is going to be the Democratic nominee and I suspect the next President.
Last time I looked around, we had an economy reeling from unscrupulous financial conduct; a misguided and immoral war in Iraq; millions of veterans without shelter, millions of children without health care, and millions billions of taxpayer dollars flowing into the wrong places.
None of that is going to change between now and January 20, 2009.
