<<<Obama's compromising, incremental approach is not, IMO, the leadership style the country needs right now. My guess is that it will lead to small, relatively inconsequential progress with regard to deficits, lackluster economic growth, and rising medical and energy costs.>>> A benign dictatorship is probably the most efficient form of government. I will go along with that as long as my people are in charge but it was a nightmare for me when Cheney was in charge. But I agree. I wish Obama was more aggressive. That was why I voted for Hillary. However I don't see any decent person being effective in today's political environment. I think an LBJ type of character would be more effective but I detested LBJ. On balance, I am still more optimistic than pessimistic when it comes to Obama, but the Chicago Olympic deal really shook me up.
