Leonard saves Salon from Bias
When a Salon article favors Obama, then finally thank the political Gods, Salon is no longer biased and it's Change We Can Believe In. If that doesn't work, blame the Clintons. Yeah, thats new.
But Reagan was effective at getting his vision implemented.
So what? So was Hitler. Being able to set direction and influence people is a primary competency for an executive, but there are plenty of powerfully influential executives who screw things up royally on a daily basis. Example number one: Bush does not know crap about crap but continues to be able to push thru thoughtless short-sighted agendas.
Obama setting a "vision" of "regulating" corporations is the same empty rhetoric as McCain espouses with his "taxes are bad" BS. We are going to have regulations and we are going to have taxes. We need to pick a leader that can most effectively determine which taxes, laws, or regulations to implement and which to rescind that best suit the greater health of society. We are not doing that, our elections in the age of media is now more than ever based on cult of personality and bumper stickers.
The more I participate in politics the more I am convinced that politics and religion were invented only so we would not either all kill each other or not all jump off of a cliff without at least discussing it first.
