41. Remember President Obama's convention speech?

He quoted Abe, "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day."

Or at least he para-quoted part of it, and I completely believe him.
