Obama Campaign Reflection #1
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 | Power & Politics
1) McCain’s economic advisor Carly Fiorina’s claim that Palin nor McCain nor Obama nor Biden could not run a large corporation is an early Christmas present for the progressive cause.
It seems Fiorina was implying that the presidency doesn’t call for those types of skills and tactical knowhow.
2) Why aren’t any Democratic advocates saying, “Here are the things that make a good private sector leader” (main goal: do things that maximize profits for shareholders and in general protect their interests)
And then drawing the connection saying “Elected officials govern well with some of the same skills and tough constitution” (main goal: do things that maximize quality of life, liberty and in general protect their interests) It is the perfect opportunity for Democrats to reclaim the mantle of avid capitalist.
3) Since the government is investing taxpayer money into the private sector in an attempt to bail out the sinking corrupt corporations on wall street, perhaps we need a president that can serve as shepherd (CEO) over our unilaterally invested money. Us Americans need that cash for roads, professional development, education, and health care. If McCain wasn’t sleeping on the job, maybe those dirty financial corporations would not have have fleeced the country so recklessly.
4) We also need that money to equip our soldiers so they can complete the job we asked them to do in Afganistan and Iraq and come home.
Question: Where are the archived quotes of McCain and Bush talking about the president as CEO of the USA? Remember, Popular Culture loves the successful businessperson, the self-made man
Conclusion: This economic hiccup isn’t just an inconvenient “hangover” after a night of drinking and exotic dancers. It seems McCain and the Republicans blacked out and claim not to remember that they painted the town red and went cow tipping. Now it is Senator Obama’s job to hold them accountable and throw them into the drunk tank.
