Why Obama is No Roosevelt by Dorothy Rabinowitz

This oped from the Wll Street Journal by Dorothy Rabinowitz is a thoughtful analysis of our current ills, making a key point about political experience as a crucial ingredient in our leaders.  I knew Dorothy when I lived in New York and taught at Columbia.  She was invariably tough-minded and shrewd, with a gift for trenchant analysis and utterly no illusitons.  She also was (and I assume still is) very funny.  I haven't seen her in years, but I follow her editorials in the Journal with great interest.  Give 'em hell, Dorothy!
