No man has ever accomplished all that Obama has with his candidacy. His responsibility to us is to live up to those promises. And our responsibility to him--and our selves--is to make sure that he lives up to the promises.

Obama's not Houdini and he can't magically make the economic mess go away. But, he can prod Congress to use some bailout money to help these severely distressed homeowners.

The testosterone party is over. And not a moment too soon. America is looking for another type of President, a multilateralist -- flexible, able to admit his or her error, self-examined, and intellectual.

The reason John McCain is ten points behind Barack Obama is, ironically, one of the main reasons people want to vote for him -- he's a maverick.
