Latest Gallup: 32% of Americans say President-elect Obama is the man they admire most in the world. President Bush wilts in second place with an anemic 5%.
Obama's immense and growing popularity will be a tremendous asset as he joins the political battles to define the next four and eight years. Via his web-based political organization, the President-elect will be able to leverage public support for his proposals more directly and rapidly than any president in history.
These extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We are lucky to follow an extraordinary leader.
