Here's where GWB shines. He does understand people, and has proved it to get things done and things to work. That in spite of the democrats' best efforts to prevent his success. Its just people he didn't seem to understand...and in DC, without that, you can't get anything to work (or get done).

True, or at least be able to rally the people, or at least the party. Democrats traditionally have no media leadership. Carter failed to provide enough of that, due to micromanagement, a decent man and highly competent engineer, unable to defend himself against the opposition. He needed to be more of a street fighter, to understand what dirty tricks the opposition politics is up to. The opposition think tanks will manage the media to crush you, if you don't have ferocious leadership and clear support. IMO, successful politicos now need to avoid trivializing their positions and hammer a clear message of support for honest in government and business. If anyone allows themselves to be attacked for "gleefully" watching the decline in the market, we'll continue to lose both the market and our freedoms to the admininstration's pernicious initiatives. The only pols that seem to have any creative thought in the last week have been Ron Paul and McCain. The Dems have been, as usual, quietly incompetent. Even Gore, who said a great thing about completely replacing the economic team, is an unconvincing orator. REal fireworks would be if Bill Clinton started in on the partisan attack, maybe he'd come up with coherent policy pronouncements that would attract Dems support. Unless there's good opposition, the adversarial political system collapses into single-party administration looting of the Treasury (instead of bi-partisan looting !! LOL!)
