President Obama seems to be handling his new job as well as can be expected. That's not an endorsement (or condemnation) of his policies but more of an assessment of his demeanor. My own concerns center on the economy and inflation as well as the wisdom of "bailing out" the banks and industrial giants such as General Motors.
My frustration with government is that government itself is so expensive. Too much redundant bureaocracy in my opinion. And congress seems to be more interested in micro solutions versus macro (read that to mean they take care of themselves, then other things).
I've worked on a few political campaigns in my day, from Nixon's reelection campaign in 1972 to supporting the local democrats in the local unicipal elections as recently as nov 2007.
Perhaps the smartest politician I ever knew said the dumbest political thing I ever heard...
I suggested that govt should be run more like a business, with a critical eye on overhead. The politico responded that you cant run govt like a biz.....i began to see the problem at that very moment. I cant think of any enterprise that doesn't have a fiduciary duty to itself, perhaps none more than govt.
It's late, I'm tired and that's it for today.
Good night.
