I agree with Mr. Leonard in most of his article. At the end of it however he speaks of two car companies and their respective markets. This particular saga occurred in past times and perhaps Mr. Leonard is not as old as I in remembering a car company that built s small vehicle that got reletively decent gas milage (for the year of the car) and that company went out of business because they did not provide what the American public wanted to purchase. Anyone else remember the "Rambler". Good luck selling this analogy to someone that has already seen the demise of good cars because they did not meet the needs of the times. Perhaps that is the way GM goes, but there you have the world market at it's best. We taught the rest of the world everything we know and they can do it cheaper.
I can't believe that you even ask the question about a VP nominee when the Dems have nominated someone that has no clue on how to even run a meeting for Pres. How about an article on Senator Obama and what his qualifications are - possibly that Mr. Biden is more qualified and he will actually be running the country because the Pres can't?
The fear with Mrs. Clinton at first was that perhaps former Pres. Clinton would actually be running things, now MY fear is that Mr. Biden will be doing the same until Senator Obama starts to get a clue.
Keep the totally slanted poisoned commentary coming, more proof that the Dems have a difficult time trying to get it right.
