looking ahead: week of january 19 through 23 , page-7

Correct Sharks...Obama is only doing what every newly installed CEO does which is rubbish the previous administration and to let evryone know that they have taken over a pack of poo.

BUT the big plus with Obama is his absolute gift for moving and inspiring the listeners. If anyone reading has attended say a Tony Robbins lecture you will know what I mean.

The real message is PERCEPTION is REALITY and Obama will create a positive perception weaved with hokey nationalistic loyalty that will flick the switch on the Yankee thougth processes...much the same as FDR and Kennedy did.

Bush never could as he was perceived as "not smart, not fast and not representing the people"..and then he had that terrible Texas drawl. The only asset he had was his wife.

Obama on the other hand is super sharp and super intelligent...could have been a Harvard Law professor and was actually offered the position. I listened to a summary of his life last night and it was as if the people who knew him as an undergrad had him down then as the next messiah.

Even if he wasn't sharp, his oratory is what will save the day. Just wait for his speech on Wednesday.

Yep...the glass is either half full or half empty. Then again the engineers might say that there is twice the amount of glass as is required and the ambulance chasing lawyers would be touting for business on the assumption that a finger was cut renoving the glass.

But give me the engineers over the lawyers every day for in terms of commercial relevance and contribution, the lawyers rate lower than the tax collectors in my book.
