I'm still sticking to my perspective, but you could be right. About the broader point, though, Mr. Bush is at yet another character defining moment we've run across many times before. This is the: Do-you-admit-you-may-be-wrong-and-change-course-or-do-you-plow-ahead moment that we've seen with the Iraq war, Social Security, Harriet Meirs, etc. etc. Mr. Bush is under the mistaken impression that "leadership" means sticking to the plan no matter what the reality is. He does this to a fault. Had he actually went to Vietnam, he'd probably be dead as every soldier knows the first casualty of battle is the plan. A good leader adapts, improvises, and evolves as the facts do. Mr. Bush seems incapable of this. He fires no-men and keeps yes-men no matter how bad they fek up. It's probably the reason he was such a failure of a businessman. He's the classic example of a guy who shouldn't hire his friends, yet that's all he hires. He isn't stupid in the learning disabilities sense, but he's not smart either. He's a good salesman, but he's tired, and rarely do salesmen make clever leaders even on their best days. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:179998 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
