It helps to have a dad and a brother specializing in the same thing you do. Three heads can be better than one, as long as none have an ego the size of Bill Clinton's.

>>>The MBA President seems to have a knack for surrounding himself with people who've proven good at absorbing the best lessons from both worlds, and producing results in both. Maybe that's why his presidency is working rather than floundering.

Real good article.

Growing up in Midland, Texas taught him about 'the common people'. Running the 'Rangers' team taught him business, and governing the big state of Texas taught him everything else.

Their career paths begin with serious political experience, divert to serious business experience and return to high-level government service.

Also the modus operandi of the Bush family. They grow up immersed in politics, then are expected to become successful in business. Once they are independently wealthy they go back into politics.

Outstanding, Pokey!

Reminds me of the recent Time mag article on Condi. Says the meetings she shares look like chaos, but W likes everyone to passionately state their views and even have conflict . . . then HE makes a decision.

The author was comparing this to previous White Houses where the chief staff officer's job was to move everyone to "consensus" before the Big Guy got involved.

The MBA President seems to have a knack for surrounding himself with people who've proven good at absorbing the best lessons from both worlds, and producing results in both.

The only results they're producing in the United States is increased
trade and budget deficits, and higher levels of unemployment.
Oh, government employment continues to increase as well.

I owned my own business for fourty five years. I would hire the best people and get out of thier way and let them do the job they were hired to do.IMHO President Bush is doing the same and that a good thing.

They're still chanting "Bush is dumb" on the left while he tidily swallows the last scraps of their lunch. You hear that as well from some folks in the Canadian and sundry European governments who really ought to know better by now. Comforting illusions are the very most dangerous kind.
