It seems that Fox is the only major news outlet making mention of
this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, it's Fox, but this is a quote of what
Bill Clinton said:

Clinton told the crowd at a Wednesday night rally with Obama in
Florida. "He said, 'Tell me what the right thing to do is. What's the
right thing for America? Don't tell me what's popular. You tell me
what's right -- I'll figure out how to sell it.'"

Unfrigginbelievable...and this is the guy who is running commercials
blasting McCain for admitting he didn't know as much as he felt he
should about _economics_, not the _economy_, as Obama is
advertising...

I can already hear the spin - he has advisors, he listens to others,
yada, yada, yada, but the fact remains he wanted others to tell him
what to do and he'd just be the guy who "sells it."

Sheesh,

Wouldn't contacting experts and advisors before formulating a well
reasoned and organized response be called "leadership"?

No, it wouldn't.

Actually, it certainly is.

No, it certainly isn't. That's being a wishy-washy mid-level manager.
When a leader is needed, there is no time for all that feel-good, CYA
bull**** and leaders step up and act - leaders lead, they don't follow.
Of course, sometimes they are wrong and/or make mistakes, but real
leaders don't and can't worry about perfection because they understand
that it is a fruitless pursuit. A real leader will spend their
down-time learning and when they are called upon to lead, they will
trust their instincts and have faith they will enjoy more success than
failure.

Of course, that's a pantload load of crap, but considering the source, it's
hardly a surprise.

Partisan dumbass...

Spoken like someone who has never been, never will be and is totally
unprepared to be anything remotely close to a real leader or know what
one is, does, looks or acts like...

Yeah, sure, whatever you say. snicker

HTH,
R
...here's a hint - there are no "good leaders" or "bad leaders," only
_leaders_...

Well, that's patently absurd - but again, the source...
