I think your post comes closer to making a useful point than others above think, but is still misguided. Like most common things, the praise of leaders by admirers can be good or bad. You have to look to the dynamics of it. Healthy leadership, and respect for leaders, is essential for solid organizations. Sick leadership is poison.

We've seen both sick and healthy leadership in the Oval Office these last few years. You tell me, Urbane_Guerilla, which is which -- I think you know, or if you don't, good riddance. But don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Don't condemn all leaders because some are big time Clymers, nor all praise of leaders, because some such praise is debasing.

As others have noted above, this daily thread also serves an essential purpose - getting out the news of what our President is up to. The major news media are very seriously biased, and alternative media, such as this thread, are a vital alternative. Indeed, this liberal media bias is perhaps an excellent example of the sicker forms of the leader and follower dynamic, as I mentioned in another post a few days ago.

Excellant response although I doubt that individual will understand. It is important for people to know the difference in the type of President they should admire. And after 8 years of Clinton, President Bush is heads and tails above him. He deserves or respect and admiration, he has earned it. Clinton never did.
