Womans Day Magazine

I read this book once about Leadership and after finishing it Im convinced that there really is an art to Leadership that many will never be able to accomplish.

In the Military, we define the art of Leadership as being able to convince someone to willingly do something that they wouldnt normally want or even think of doing. ( Combat Leadership)

Now, I say all of that to say this.

On the news yesterday they reported on somehting that Obama is currently saying in his Iowa speeches and something that he hit really hard on during his weekly radio address.

Without having the actual quote in front of me I can only paraphrase.

Obama  - I need you ( the voters) to put pressure on your elected officials (Congress) so that they will start to create more jobs and make the economy bounce back.


When I first heard him  say it I just sort of took it at face value and didnt think too much about it. But the more I thought about it, and once my wife pointed out something  to me Im convinced that this guy, as a Leader, couldnt lead a pack of drunks to the liquor store.

As the President, he is supposed to lead our congressional leaders and the nation. But he hasnt mastered the art of Leadership or else he would have never had to make that statement. Why would he turn to me and tell me to do something that he should have already been doing.

Now, the reason for this entry was something my wife found on the last page of the Spring 2009 Womans Day magazine.

One the backpage they print in each publication an inspirational quote form someone in a position of importance.  Im still not sure why but one quote was from Mariah Carey who really coulndt inspire me to do anything more than change the radio station but thats a whole different subject.


In this paticular article was an ispirational quote from Obama that he made in 2009.

I promise Im not making this up and have included a photo from my cell phone to prove it.

Quote - Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones weve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.



I think Obama needs to reread the first line of that and practice what he preached.


Thats it for today.....I got nothing else for ya !
