(-; ok, I'm smiling ;-) -- Mike, Norwalk
YES! Exactly. -- Kathryn, Chicago
It's scary to think that Obama doesn't know what he's doing, and even scarier to think that he does. -- jim k, Austin, Tx
The first thing that springs to mind is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve... -- J Carlton, Calgary
yeah and bush had a handle on things. Keep your gibberish to yourself. -- westphillyguy, philadelphia
westphillyguy, to whom are you addressing 'your gibberish'. I don't think you'll find very many Bush fans here. Is it your belief that if one can demonstrate that Mr. Obamunist Goodwrench the assassin is a scary guy he must be a Bush fan? If so, Wrong ! You need to ask yourself, which dissolution of freedom and liberty is more immoral; torture or murder? Other than that, both seem to be out of the same mold; Obamunist may be a little more communistic than the purely fascist Bush? I think most here were rooting for a Bush vacation to Switzerland. -- Mike, Norwalk
He has one fatal flaw but that's for another day... -- RBESRQ
That was fun Mike. -- RBESRQ
I have often thought that the government of the 21st century should be built upon a process, just like computer systems which duplicate human processes. The process can be simple, and it can be designed to do only what the People have authorized their representatives to do. As a software developer, I must agree, because I have worked for many clients, and systems can only be developed to do something you already know how to do without them. If the client cannot define the process and the requirements, and says simply, "Just come in, we'll tell you what to do," it is usually an indicator that they don't know what they are doing. -- E Archer, NYC
I love Deming because I work in Quality. It's so sad that the US and A rejected Deming and Germany and Japan embraced it after WWII. There is your failure, and ours too. As Canadians we followed your pathetic lead to inevitable failure. Now look who is suffering. "When our duty to our selves overcomes our duty to our state; we lead our country on a short route to chaos." Sir Thomas Moore -- L. Hanson, Edmonton, Canada
-- Wayne, Naples
