    Stevie Wonder Say.

    After all the hullabaloo, I don't have much to say tonight.

    As a kid, I loved the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" by Stevie Wonder. So did the President apparently.

    But 4 years later, after he grew up a little, Stevie wrote another song, "You Haven't Done Nothin'.

    I hope it's on the White House playlist tonight.

    I feel as though this President's coming to his time of decision. The time when he grows into this job, and becomes someone more than his books and campaign speeches and advisors. 

    Or not.

    In making that decision, he needs to understand that right or wrong, an awful lot of people are feeling what the song says.

    My sense during the campaign was that Obama was the only candidate with real potential to grow, the only one with the potential to be more than his resume, more than business as usual. Right now though, I'd say he's sticking pretty close to that resume, and it's not up to the job.

    Not up to the times.

    He needs to be listenin' to Stevie tonight. Time to dig down deep and find something more, Mr President.
