We have to start by noting that one of the most unusual things about President-elect Barack Obama -- for a politician that is -- is that he actually writes his own books! and a lot of his speeches too!

That may not seem astonishing, but it is. Most tomes by elected officials are ghost written or co-authored. But Obama was an author -- "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance" -- before he became the golden promise of the Democratic Party and the President-elect.

In fact, being based in Illinois, we knew Obama a bit when he was a state senator here -- and he was much more the reflective wonk than the charismatic political star. So, rest assured, when it comes to writing, he's the real deal.

(We were surprised as anyone who knew him during his Illinois legislature years at his transformation into a charismatic personality. Everybody thought of him as the smartest guy in the room, but you practically had to drag him up to the podium to have him speak at a news conference.)

After so many years of nightmarish, Orwellian Republican one-party rule, Obama has the gift to inspire.

We can use a little of that.

In fact we can use a lot of that.
