What is the single most important quality that Barack Obama has that prepares him for the Presidency?

Hints, not because or despite his being a community leader, lawyer, teacher, father, husband, Senator, legislator, author, public speaker, politician, multi-racial or being honest?

It is also the single most important quality that GW Bush lacks.

    Obama's "on the ball"... You can tell just from how he presents himself that he's not an idiot like Bush.

    The answer is nothing.

    There is nothing that Obama has that prepares him for the Presidency, unless you count the Hitler like skill of being able to motivate unquestioning masses to do his bidding, whatever it is.

    The same answer is also good for George W. Bush, he lacks nothing for his position.
