		<description>Truly insightful.

However, in the &quot;reorg&quot; it seems all the functional resources will be given away, chased off, or just outright destroyed figuratively, and maybe literally.

No way yo run a railraod, even if you aren&#039;t in love with it, if you still need a train to get you to where you&#039;re going.

That is where I note his background in skirting the law is all he has to rely on...slogans and not experience in the &quot;real politik&quot; of every day economics and usually having to compromise, when all in the corporation (think contractors) can only be directed to a point, and after that, they can legally walk out at the very moment the new product, with the massive (and expensive) buzz campaign playing, is to be shipped from the loading docks.

I think he believes he is worldly and full of wisdom.  Pygmalion Effect...his handlers has whispered sweet nothings of adulation and &quot;YES YOU CAN!&quot; in his ears so long, he thinks he can...do it all and he is supremely capable of judging all things for all people...

Pride goes before.....well, you know the drill.</description>

		<description>Regarding Obama&#039;s intentions toward the U.S....he surely wants the country to continue as an entity and for its people to continue to survive. But he also utterly wants to change the nature and meaning of the country.

To construct another analogy: Obama is like a new CEO who takes over a company for which he has no respect. He thinks the executives are fools and the employees are lazy, selfish morons. The corporate culture is something for which he has great contempt. The strategy is wrong and the products suck. Since he thinks there is no talent within the company or even the industry, he will bring in his former associates from other places to run things. Although he talks a good game..&quot;empowerment&quot; and all that..his management approach is entirely top-down, and the role of employees &amp; executives is to shut up and do what they&#039;re told.

So he certainly wants the XYZ Corporation to continue to exist--but to exist as something totally different from what it has been.</description>

Or what about the Hydrogen bomb? THAT was projected by our &quot;best&quot; people to be DECADES away from being successfully tested by the Soviets after we exploded one in 1952. Three years later......</description>

		<description>We aren&#039;t exactly overburdened with allies at the moment.  With the possible exception of 3 or 4, most of our &quot;allies&quot; aren&#039;t worth a bucket of warm spit.  &quot;Allies&quot; that fielded million man+ armies a generation ago can only come up with a couple of dozen men and women to support the war on terror.

It&#039;s not about this administration or that administration, it is just the simple economics of socialism that has swept the planet.  Nobody wants to see their $ diverted to arms and soldiers when it could be spent on worthy things like socialized deathcare and non-education and 7 week vacations for bureaucrats.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And…top it all off if, when we need a helping hand if they will be willing to put it out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Correction:

And…top it all off if, when we need a helping hand they shall not be willing to put it out.</description>

		<description>They will think it&#039;s time to man up, or be ready to welcome their new overlords.

In addition, our &quot;word&quot; will be crap form decades to come, as it will demonstrate to those who believed us that support is but a passing fancy at the whim of the electoral college, somewhat (not) facilitated by shut and up and let me listen to my iPod while I text citizenry.

And...top it all off if, when we need a helping hand if they will be willing to put it out.

I&#039;m not a political science, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn, but I think I can see the Brilliant WON is in fact unable to listen to history and, I predict, his legacy will be the very opposite of what he so desires to stroke his ego...Sad...being such a young man as he will be, when his Constitutionally limited time (if we can keep it) is up.

OTOH, maybe that&#039;s why he is pushing (via Dr Emmanuel) a cut off of medical care in stages after reaching 40...so he&#039;ll not have to be alive too long to suffer the slings and arrows sent his was in public and private appearances.

He&#039;s focused so much on the future, he screws up daily...</description>
