I hope Mr Obama has the ambition to be not just a good president

He'd better have it in him to be a great American president.  He doesn't have to be among the all-time greats, like Roosevelt or Lincoln, but he can't be Bill Clinton.  Not that I don't appreciate Bill Clinton's competence, because it'd obviously be a massive improvement over the current administration, but I expect more than simple competence from Obama.

As I've said, I'm 99% convinced he's capable of it.  The question that will remain unanswered until he takes office is, "Does he have the drive?"
