I predicted this on threads in FR some time ago. If Kerry can't manage a campaign staff, how can he manage a Presidential administration? Who's calling his shots? Who's pulling his strings? As I've said often, he'll have the military continually in the air and at sea. Before they arrive at any scheduled destination, he'll re-direct their route.

His requesting information then failing to use it is just but one example of how government costs will escalate, with no increase in value, in an administration having his lack of leadership abilities.

What do his Senate staff think about his management skills? Any 'moles' there willing to speak out?

Did they mention that "Viet Cong" Kerry's wife, Terry Kerry, doesn't trust him with her money, won't let him manage or touch it and won't even tell him where most of it is or how it is being used? If his wife doesn't trust him we HER money, why should we trust him with OURS?

One cannot be a decisive leader without core values. Kerry has not core values. That's why he flip flops.

The only thing he is for certain is a narcissist.

"Kerry takes all of the credit and none of the blame."

He learned everything he knows from the Klinton school of Politics

"uncommonly bright, informed and curious. . . "

I don't know about 'informed' but my ex's standard poodle fits the rest to a tee. Loves the water and is scared of his shadow too!

Reagan had a "hands-off" management style. Kerry has a "HEADS-OFF" management style.....

". . . The downside to [Kerry's] deliberative executive style, they said, is a campaign that has often moved slowly against a swift opponent, and a candidate who has struggled to synthesize the information he sweeps up into a clear, concise case against Mr. Bush," says the Times. "Even his aides concede that Mr. Kerry can be slow in taking action, bogged down in the very details he is so intent on collecting."

Wow. And we should put this guy in charge of our national defense why?

"Some aides complain their boss gets bogged down in the details, making him slow to take action as he struggles to process and use information."

What happens is Kerry gets an idea. He then has his entire staff present their ideas to validate if his idea was the right one. He then makes everyone redo their ideas until he gets it just right. Then he tosses it and uses his.

Once his idea gets shot down, he blames everyone and then uses the idea that he should have used in the first place.

My old boss used to do that. We were never on time or on budget, but he looked great for presenting such a great idea. I despise bosses like this.

A "four-term senator with comparatively little manangement experience..."? That translates into: "A power-hungry liberal who has sponged off of the American tax-payer for his entire adult life; a man who has never held a private sector job." 'Nuff said.

You could change the dates on this article and it would be a precise portrait of Jimmy Carter.

To: Always Right

Because the Republicans chose Kerry.

It was not the left that sank the campaigns of the other contenders, it was the right.

Had Republicans shut their yaps we'd be looking at Bush with a 60/40 lead over Dean, who would have imploded by now.

Apparently being "curious" is of vital importance to democrats. I have heard, again and again, that President Bush IS reasonably bright but he's just not "curious". They way they make it sound, being "curious" is something far more important than being steadfast, brave, determined, etc. Almost makes "curious" sound a little kinky.
