Gumption and Being Presidential

This is why Obama is not Kerry. I want to be clear that I think John Kerry is an honorable man; I worked my little tale off trying to get him elected because I knew that compared to the alternative he was the best man for the job. But while he is a great man he was missing something in 2004. What he was missing was the rhetorical fire and gumption that is required to stick up for yourself, your ideas, and your vision. Obama has that. And this is proof of it. Its proof that he has what it takes to be our President.
