Speak to the Soul of America, Mr. President Since taking office, I've noticed a decided turn in the president's use of language, shifting from the more aspirational, unifying, and visionary language of the campaign to the more nuts-and-bolts language of policies and interests. I think that shift has been a mistake, for it undermines what I believe is his single most important role for the American people.

The Answer: Wisdom in Washington Democrats have drawn battle lines between two camps, which come down to two answers to the question, "What do we need most in Washington: change or experience?" The answer, which Democratic voters are speaking loud and clear, is that we need both. A spirit of change PLUS deep experience equals something more than either alone. Change + Experience = Wisdom.
