S O S

ENTREPENEURSHIP 101: When confronted with a massive problem, sit down with the parties involved, get the facts, consider various options for the solution, discuss and organize how the parties involved can work together to expedite the solution, establish an order of authority.

OBAMASHIP 100: Do not speak even once during the first two months after the oil spill disaster occurred with the CEO of BP, the operator of the oil well that is daily spewing millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, damaging our coastline and our fishing and tourist industries; announce that "I am learning whose ass to kick" and "We are keeping our boot on BP's neck" and "Why are people complaining? One month after the incident, I spoke with some fishermen". (Fishermen vote, you see, BP doesn't.)

What did you expect from a President who never had one day of administrative, executive, experience before taking office...a self-annointed guru who wants his administration to run the banking, insurance, health care, energy and oil industries...whose claim to fame was as a law school professor and local community activist? Further, his degrading language reflects his lack of respect for his office, its history, its stature, and the role it can play in uplifting the standard of life in our country.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the political ledger, no one has as yet stepped forward to serve as an experienced, dignified, presidential alternative. No one electable. Vacuum facing vacuum.

Our ship of state is floundering...and the abyss is in sight.

Oh, yes...the answer to that ass question: Your own!
