But it is always helpful when someone who has actually been in the arena says that Obama has what it takes to be successful, particularly when the person has no dog in the fight. Speaking of football, its as if Tom Brady came out and said "Of course Brady Quinn can play quaterback in the NFL." Its a stamp of approval from someone who knows.

And, these days, no matter what presidency he worked for, it's hard to find quarrel with his first point: Everyone else is wrong right now. Strangely, Obama's lack of Policy "chops"--meaning in-the-box thinking-- may be his best asset in the coming months. “Is an endorsement that’s associated with Jimmy Carter’s presidency a good thing?”
