go back and get someone who did a good job on yesterday's, necessarily. We could use someone with the ability Washington had to see that he shouldn't grab power, the ability Lincoln had to speak and deal with a divided country, the skill at expression in writing of Jefferson, the charisma of JFK and the diplomatic skill of Ben Franklin. The closest we see to any of that today is Obama.
