I think that that is the reason that Obama is President right now. I also suspect that he would have run and probably won down the road. The biggest knock against him at the start of this was the lack of experience. And that was a point I entirely agreed with, it was certainly my initial reservation about him. If the situation had not been so dire, I think he would have spent more time building a resume, building a coalition before he ran. But as Gruss said, smart people know when to seize an opportunity and he found a situation where things were so dire and disjointed that voters were willing to consider anyone...including a little know young black guy with a funny name and a fairly thin resume.
I still think that the traits that got him elected, his ability to speak, to articulate grand ideas and visions and help make them concrete for people, his ability to organize and mobilize large numbers of people, essentially his leadership would have given him a serious run for President at some point in his career. Bush was just the motivator for the time being now. Way to seize the moment.
