A CHARMING visit with Jay Leno won’t fix it. A 90-percent-tax on bankers’ bonuses won’t fix it. Firing Timothy Geithner won’t fix it. Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans’ anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed.

So, don’t listen to all the numbers crunchers, the bean-counters, media-pollsters, media armchair quarter-backs or you’ll drive yourself crazy. Instead, kick back, hold up your glass, and toast the obvious winner as America holds it’s breath and takes one giant and courageous step into our future together as Americans.
