>> Obama is brilliant. Yeah. He's blundered his way through the first months of his presidency. But he's brilliant.

Ted, > It sounds like you believe that businessmen are the savviest people in our society. ... Obama is brilliant. I suspect the people he's hired are very smart. First of all, I never said that businessmen are the savviest people in our society. Some are, and some just do the most boneheaded things. That's why no business should ever be "too big to fail," because it rewards mediocrity and leaves out those who succeed. Second, if you think Obama is hiring smart, savvy people to run Government Motors, then perhaps you can explain to me why he hired Brian Deese, a guy with absolutely no experience in the auto industry: nytimes.com I'm sure he's an intelligent kind of guy, but I know lots of intelligent people who really shouldn't be doing this kind of job. And finally, good attempt at using Bush once again to "prove" that Obama's intelligence and experience qualify him to run Government Motors. Tenchusatsu
