A leader needs to be more careful here. Management 101: role modeling. - his inability to factor in new data - his lack of flexibility conveys a mind that makes decisions based upon loyalty to a position rather than to reason and logic - his inability to have an inclusive approach to governing ("I" rather than "we") - his lack of insight into various cultures, especially those he attacks (it's better to be informed about your enemy before starting a war). This is a huge one. He's awfully behind the times here. The world has gone global, but he seems stuck behind. - his lack of discussing decisions with American people - he tells people what he is going to do, rather than engage in open, interactive dialogue. An intelligent person realizes the best decisions are made with people. - his lack of a technology vision. Every president had a vision for technology but Bush. Carter worked on solar energy, Reagan worked on military technology (annoying to us liberals, but at least he understood the importance of technology), and Clinton focused on computers. Nevermind the BS in your statement, other than, can you please tell me how Clinton "focused on computers"??? Meanwhile, Bush is focusing on bras, socks and textiles. He is protecting industries of the 19th century, rather than having a vision for advancement of the industries for the 21st century.
