Actually, he's not. He's pointing out that the job of the executive is not to be the expert on every matter, but to have the ability to find the right experts, listen to them, and make decisions.
It sounds easy, but it's not. Most of the people I work with every day are incapable of making decisions, at least the big ones. They hedge and delay when put in that position, or seek validation from others. It's not that they're lazy or stupid -- it;s that they simply don't have the temperament, confidence, and experience to "make the call".
In many respects, focus on policy in a Presidential race is misplaced. It has some bearing -- at the very least it shows a candidate's priorities and approach to solving an issue -- but what is far more important (and 9/11 should have driven this point home) is the idea of "do I trust this person to make the 'big decision' when it needs to be made?"
Good post, but I’m not sure Cain is the man we should trust to pull the trigger so to speak.
