Obama LEADERSHIP MODUS OPERANDI: Let the other guy take a stand and make him/her a fool
Last para of WaPo Editorial on Paul Ryan’s long term budget plan to ELIMINATE both the yearly deficit and the national debt:
In a statement Tuesday, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president believes that long-term deficit reduction is “essential” but “strongly disagree[s]” with Ryan’s approach. “The President believes there is a more balanced way to put America on a path to prosperity.” What would that path be, Mr. President?
When it happens so many times that even the flag bearers question ‘leadership’ the deluge approaches.
Mr. Obama’s ‘leadership’ is in fact a set of techniques mastered to WIN CAMPAIGNS not to solve actual problems. They are Dale Carnegie, Don Draper, Jerry Della Femina, self contained programmable objects trotted out in all situations to maintain voting edges in a world I GUARANTEE YOU, ruled by overnight polling results, focus groups, and statistics.
In the real world this kind of ‘leadership’ is the financial world’s credit default swap.
This kind of securitization of voter approval will lead to the inevitable COLLAPSE. The question is, will it be OURS, or his?
