and here is hoping that many, many more will follow in his big footsteps.

1. I agree, he'll be a new standard.
He'll be the first Obama-esque President.

2. Yup.
Did you know JFK was lucky enough to meet a young Bill Clinton when he was just 44 years old?

3. No way.
Obama supporters are always comparing him to great leaders. But he's nothing like Obama.

4. I disagree - Obama resembles Obama in many ways.
True, there are some important differences - we must not expect Obama to be as great a leader as Obama. But most of the details of his personal life, and many of his key political positions, are essentially the same as Obama's, and I think he may in the end turn out to be even greater than him.

5. haven't all Presidents been unique ?
even when you put all the great ones together and all the bad ones together they are still different .

i think Obama has the potential to be one of the great ones that could rank up there with FDR and Lincoln.

6. No, the 22nd and 24th presidents were identical.
Other than that they've all been unique, although some have been fairly similar.

7. yes, but that was the same guy
an example would be nixon and bush who are probably some of the worst presidents. but still different.
