  • Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"

    All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

  • The President in Paris

    Senator Grassley is showing signs of impatience and uniformed decision; rashness. ''Too little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.'' That Grassley would fly off the bat over such Paris vacation trivia is clearly an attempt to gather media attention in preparation for his own continuing effort to latch onto presidential power in the all too near ...

  • Republican Breakdown

    I read John Dickerson's breakdown of the leadership roles in the Republican party and he certainly has done a good job of breaking down the historical pattern. Lately though, I've noticed that this pattern fits less every day. On the Sotomayor nomination, it fits. But torture? Nope. Closing Gitmo? Nada. Unless you count John McCain eight ...

  • Obama Ruthless -- Like RFK and Mr. Spock?

    Every time a truly effective leader comes along -- whether it's President Obama, Lyndon Johnson, Hillary Clinton, Golda Meir or Robert F. Kennedy -- one of the first charges leveled against him or her is ruthlessness. Mr. Spock of STAR TREK had the same problem. Not that he was ever actually ''wrong'' when he elected to sacrifice one or more ...

  • Is Obama ruthless?

    It has been such a long time that competency has been valued that we don't recognize when constant competency is demanded. Obama is a pragmatist; if a someone is deemed not competent or performing at a ''C'' level, he will move them on to their greater good. The President sets a high standard and expects outstanding performance. To those who ...

  • Keeping President Obama in Touch

    For President Obama to help extricate the nation from recession, he needs both policy and persuasion. Despite the power and emoluments of his office, he must remain in sync with the American people. More than ''feeling our pain,'' the President needs un-intermediated access to understand what is really happening out on the shopfloors (and, yes, ...

  • Keeping in Touch

    For another reason President Obama needs to keep his BlackBerry, see http://brandculturetalk.com/2009/01/22/leaders-in-charge-but-not-always-in-touch/#more-76

  • Governance

    I could not agree with the author more, that bringing the Republican governing philosophy into the new millenium is the greatest challenge. The free market of ideas has already begun to churn, with Senator McCain the first casualty. What kind of leadership will Gingrich, Steele, Palin, Romney, etc assume? It will be based on the power of thier ...

  • Rahm & Pelosi-Reid

    How does COS Emanuel get quick, quiet spine transplants for Pelosi & Reid? Failing that, how does he get rid of these 2 much than adequate 'leaders'? The Dems don't have 60 in the Senate but they should try being assertive. Obama is a Democrat. He will need leaders to line up the votes.

  • Now that Obama will be president

    Obama has won the election by citing feel good statements without indicating any significant positions that he will take on any critical issues. America has elected charisma without knowing what direction our new President will take us. He will now have to win over the country with leadership and definitive policies that he has been able to ...
