Tech News World : Obama, Palin, Best Buy and Lessons in Leadership

"When it comes to leadership in technology, the bar is set by Apple -- and the only company currently of its scale that comes close isn't an Apple competitor. It is actually Best Buy. Best Buy has been doing for the retail process what Apple has been doing for product, and if you haven't been in a Best Buy store in a while, it is time for a visit -- particularly if you are shopping for a new smartphone." ~Rob Enderle

Yes I do realize that this is not technology. I will try not to do this too often, that is get into a political arena on things, also I will endeavor to not get into religion other than well wishes. That being said, I can plainly see that what he is saying is true. What this country needs is a leader, not a charismatic elected official. Although being charismatic is not a bad thing. What we need is the person who leads us forward and actually causes us to follow them. You aren't a leader without followers. I may not have believed that Obama was a good candidate for president, but that does not mean I had a better idea or that I want to see him fail. If the president fails so do we.

What some of us might need is a kick to the head or rear end, myself included. One thing I do want to clear up here is this: It took us a long time to mess ourselves up this badly, do you really believe that it would take only two years to fix? It took at least 8 to get us into it, so is we can get back out in 8 or under I would be very impressed, but I think is will be more like 16 years to call everything okay.
