From the back cover: In this urgent and hopeful book about how great presidents overcome great crisis, Robert Kuttner explains what Barrack Obama will need to do to redeem his own promise and the promise of America. With America facing the gravest economic crisis since the Great Depression, our next president must become a truly transformative leader - like Roosevelt and Lincoln - pursuing bold and decisive action to overcome not just the crisis, but a powerful undertow of bad advice and DC-insider influence. Anything less, and the scale of the crisis will consign Obama's promise to failure. With his exceptional skill at appealing to our better angels, Barack Obama could be the right leader at the right time to re-awaken America to the promise of shared prosperity coupled with responsibility toward future generations. Invoking America's greatest leaders, Robert Kuttner explains how Obama could be our next transformative president. From Chapter One: Barack Obama could be the first chief executive since Lyndon Johnson with the potential to be a transformative progressive president. By that I mean a president who profoundly alters American life, one who uses his office to appeal to our best selves to change our economy, society, and democracy for the better. That achievement requires a rendezvous of a critical national moment with rare skills of leadership. There have been perhaps three such presidents since Lincoln. Obama unmistakably possesses unusual gifts of character and leadership. Because of the deepening economic crisis, he will have to move imaginatively and decisively. He will need all of his inspirational and political skills, as well as ones he is still learning. Please feel free to ask any questions.
