Decision making based off of public opinion is not management or Presidential. One reason he is still Mr. Obama to me. He is not a President. The best part is that I am sure the government is now pouring over websites like Free Republic and will attempt to obtain the identity of all of us. We are on a list, or soon to be.
I have some young people who work for me. Some of them liked Obama. Then i showed them his plan to have all people under 25 do some civilian security training. They sure jumped off that ship fast.
Obama can choose to stay in the executive suite and run the business. Or, he can squander his time and brawl in the streets. His choice.
They dont need a List ,Waxman is going to take care of the site instead,It is going to Vanish
I'm surprised kids didn't swoon over the idea. It seems like most of them dream of some cushy, fun and adventurous job that is out there just waiting for them to find it. Of course, they never find it, so a lot of them just wait and wait and wait to go to work.
On the same note - I have wondered about this "volunteer plan" that Obama proposes for our youth. (It conjures up pictures of Nazi smooth-faced boys boot-stepping in their crisp uniforms.) I've heard what I think are two different things. One is the required "Civilian Security Training" that all will be required to fulfill. The other is about giving every college student free tuition in return for a period of voluntary community service immediately after graduation.
Are these one and the same or two different programs?
What I cannot imagine is how you motivate someone who is REQUIRED to volunteer. I would hate to be a hospital administrator (example) who is told to take 200 college student and find something for them to do. I would have to hire people to manage them and hope and pray that they have any kind of work ethic. My gut feeling is, many would resent having to do "volunteer" work just as they graduate and have visions of dollar signs dancing in their heads.
And, lastly, I highly doubt that it would be "volunteer" service in either program!
They sure jumped off that ship fast.
Yeah, but wait til they find out 92 virgins come with it.
“One reason he is still Mr. Obama to me. He is not a President”
I respect the office of President....but I have yet to use the words Obama and president together. I doubt I ever will.
