Do you think Obama has the experience and knowledge needed to deal with the economic crisis?

On Feb. 10, after he found out he'd won that day's Democratic Presidential primary in Maine, Senator Barack Obama sat down at the keyboard of his computer to write an e-mail. Not to a media consultant or a delegate counter, but to banker Robert Wolf, CEO of UBS Americas. The two men exchanged notes about the Senate-passed economic stimulus package and that weekend's G-7 economic summit. A banker as Obama's pen pal? Hard to believe, given the senator's liberal image. But in between rallies and airplane flights on the campaign trail, Obama has also taken time to consult on the economy with billionaire Warren Buffett. Obama has also been in touch with former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
