Because there's another form of politics that also gets things done - leadership politics. <br /><br />If our elected officials would stop being so officious and become elected leaders, things would get done more quickly and efficiently. Contrast Obama's administration to G.W. Bush's. Dubya got things done with ease - mostly bad things and mostly done via circumventing or fudging laws and mostly done with a swaggering, brutish idiocy and, of course, in secret - BUT HE GOT THEM DONE, DAMMIT. <br /><br />Obama's whole-of-government-and-private-sector-too happy friends party has the right heart and the right vision, but it's dragged on for a couple of years now and the alienate-nobody-at-all-costs style of governance has left those who care disgruntled and disheartened. <br /><br />I'd rather have an enlightened, benevolent dictator than a bunch of factious idiots at the helm as America fends off national decline.Taylor Wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290713725463878436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-36536362350792035382009-12-19T14:25:58.073-06:002009-12-19T14:25:58.073-06:00I also came here on Ezra Klein's recommendatio...I also came here on Ezra Klein's recommendation, and I am hooked.
