Before class last evening, I was chatting with another professor in the hallway at the school. He commented that he found it interesting that each party was getting a boost from people who are great at giving speeches (Obama, Palin). He said our country needed "people who get things done" rather than those who can give good speeches.
Actually, I think we need leaders who do both. They need to be able to get things done yet also able to communicate what their plans are for this country to the people. I commented to the professor that, in this race, the nominees, for the most part, are people who have gotten things done.
Think about it. Whether you agree or disagree with their policies or actions:
- Senator Joe Biden is a person who has gotten things done.
- Senator John McCain is a person who has gotten things done.
- Governor Sarah Palin is a person who has gotten things done.
- Senator Barack Obama ... hasn't accomplished one thing worthy of note either in the Illinois state house or in Washington.
