The key, Amos and Gigi, would be for Obama to initiate a change program that would show progress towards the goals needed, and in surrounding himself with the right cabinet, one that would be viewed as change agents for the working/middle class. Otherwise he ends up on the same pile with Carter. The problems confronting our country over the next 50 years are enormous. He must craft a policy with vision that folks can see, and feel committed to. Much like what Roosevelt did with his efforts. Our society is pretty cynical, which is why a guy like Obama is so necessary, but he must be bold.

All the best,
