okie, What does "piece of work" mean?
Thats a saying I have heard, an expression, meaning somebody or something is a work in progress, that alot of improvements and continued work will be necessary to result into something or somebody useful. For example, it could be applied to a teenager that hasn't found himself or herself yet, and is aimless and unproductive. I like the expression, ci, and I thought Biden sort of fits, because he is sort of wandering aimlessly as to what he might propose next. For example, during the debates, he said Obama was not ready to be president, but now he claims he is, and I don't buy it, I think he doesn't believe he is now, but he is only saying so because of political expediency.
Quote: You really haven't kept up with the current administration have you? Any dissension from the Bush doctrine by any on his staff got booted out. Remember General Shinseki and General Powell? Bush surrounded himself with "yes" people, and the result is all the chaos and crisis Bush created, because Bush was not open to diverse opinions and ideas.
Bush may listen, but that doesn't mean he won't ultimately go against their advice, after all others in the administration gave other advice. I don't think that argument flies well. No president can obey everyone in an administration, and show me an administration where nobody resigned. There aren't any.
Quote:Obama on the other hand will have a veep who will bring other ideas to the table for consideration. In management, that's very important. In a fascist country, your head gets chopped off. Obama will refer to experts and get more ideas to consider before he makes his decisions. That's smart.
But then, you don't understand the concept of "smart" in management.
I guarantee you that Obama cannot follow the advice of everyone in his administration, and I guarantee you that many will resign at various points, assuming he is elected, which I am not assuming, no way, in fact I seriously hope it never happens for your sake and mine. Obama is not ready to be president and he does not hold the right convictions to be president, and even if he did, he is seriously immature and ill equipped to be president. He does not have the credentials, period. He should go back to organizing his community, where poverty still reigns, and his public housing supported by government dollars is falling in around the ears of the residents, to the benefit of his friends and buddies like Rezko. That job is just as unfinished and perhaps in worse shape than when he began.
