OBAMA -- WHAT IS HIS CHARACTER


A FEW MUSINGS ABOUT WHO OBAMA IS:

I learned early in life to look for defining points in people, especially in those in leadership positions. Good character, attitude and command presence are absolutely critical attributes for those in leadership positions to lead successfully. The top leadership position in the world is the Presidency of the United States of America. President Obama does not have the necessary attributes to lead Americans and he demonstrates it often with both his words and deeds. His actions are too often, most often in fact, divisive, polarizing and create dissension and hatred. He deliberately appeals to the worst instincts and the most selfish attitudes of people. It's now clear that this is his character, his method to gain support from enough to keep him in power.

Even single words and expressions can, and do, define a person and reveal his or her mindset and inner being. So it is with Obama. His most recent assertion in a speech to a supporting audience who booed when he mentioned Mitt Romney's name was "don't boo, vote, voting is the best revenge." Revenge for what? Romney's response was "vote for love of country" I'm reminded of President John F. Kennedy's request of Americans..."Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Obama's attitude here is disdain.... for what? Hatred...for whom? How does this define his character? Anger, vengeful, manipulative! Why? My opinion is it shows his dislike for America and Americans.

Then I remember President Harry Truman who's expression, his admonition to all, was "The buck stops here." President Obama too often demonstrates just the opposite.... rather like "It's not my job, man."
Most recently, and most egregiously, this is displayed in the massacre in our Benghazi, Libya consulate. 
It's the same when, after 4 years, he still blames Bush instead of taking charge and developing effective policies to solve our problems -- it is his job, man! The definition here -- irresponsible, no command presence, intellectual dishonesty.

Obama's mindset and character are also defined in another expression that alienated all business people, especially entrepreneurs..... "If you have a business, you didn't build that."  The mindset here...."statism" government does it, not individuals.

Obama's use of I, me, my and mine exceeds anyone that is in public life. Self-centrism, narcissism! These are not presidential or leadership qualities. AND OBAMA IS NOT A LEADER.

There are many, many more defininitions but these are adequate to cause thinking voters to want him out of office.America needs, and deserves, better.

AMERICAN AIRLINES -- MORE ABOUT UNIONS AND CH 11

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more.  The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry w

LEFTIST MIND-SET OF TODAY -- REFLEXIVE, THOUGHTLESS SUPPORT FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of people who are put into management and supervisory positions for which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often played out. The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the most significant example of this in my lif

ETHANOL -- The worst mandate ever gets even worse

When politicians get control of science and the inept or dishonest scientists, nothing good comes of it. There are many examples -- global warming (aka climate change) is the most prominent. The ethanol mandate, although a part of the climate change mania, stands on its own as arguably the most ridiculous mandate of all time. President Jimmy Carter, who was influenced by a misguided college professor, can be charged with the mistake of promulgating the ethanol mandate.  Of course, Al Gore is the politician who played the global warming issue like a drum and has benefited financially from it. Use of ethanol in motor fuel is not a net positive either in costs or in impact on the environment.... enormous hype to the contrary notwithstanding. Ethanol does not have the positive effect on the environment as touted. It has only about 60% of the specific energy of petroleum fuel, which begs use of more fuel to achieve the same energy as petroleum fuel. And, so it does. I have my own experie
