Good point. Another great micro-manager was LBJ. I like a guy who has core convictions but Newt is out to prove something. Plus he actually is a political animal.

Newt thinks everyone needs to just be quiet and listen to him.

****Newt thinks everyone needs to just be quiet and listen to him.****

Not true.

One of the recurring criticisms on FR (and on this thread) is that he has begun too many conversations about too many topic and actually LISTENED to the opposition i.e. Kerry, Pelosi, Gore, Mitchell, Clinton and Romney.

A President is expected to take the pulse of the people and be aware of multiple trends in all areas that might affect the living and future generations. Then to lead based on principles.

Inquiry should not be confused with arrogance!
