Brad Wardell's views about technology, politics, religion, world affairs, and all sorts of politically incorrect topics.

Here's an obviously partisan article that was food for thought:

http://www.examiner.com/x-722-Conservative-Politics-Examiner~y2008m9d4-What-if-Obama-was-just-some-guy-at-your-office

It essentially asks people to look at their own lives and ask themselves whether they would want Obama to be the CEO of the company they currently work at.

Obama has been on the job 143 days so far and in those 143 days, he has made it pretty clear he just wants the top spot. He likes to refer to himself a lot when he talks and is quite quick to condescend to people who don't share his opinions on virtually any subject.

But seriously, as far back as you go in Obama's record, he seems to always have focused on how to get up the next rung in the ladder rather than trying to do whatever he was doing well.  He's written 2 books about himself but never passed or written a major piece of legislation.

As the comments in the article listed above remind me, there's plenty of empty suit CEOs and managers out there. Does Obama strike you more as one of them or as a true leader with a history of executing on his ideas?

Consider this, Obama is 47 years old. Forget comparing him to other politicians or whatever, compare him to just people you know.  What precisely has Obama accomplished in his 47 years? What achievements can you point to (other than 2 autobiographies)?

Yes.
I get thousands of email a day.

 

 

Doh!  No wonder I never get a reply to my job or nerdy AI technology questions
