- Summary:
-
"In this urgent and hopeful book about how great presidents overcome great crises, Robert Kuttner explains what Barack 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 most transformative president. Obama could be our next transformative president."--BOOK JACKET.
