The longer the line sat idle the longer the company lost money, so there was a lot of pressure to get the machinery moving again. The consultant came down on the floor, walked around, and, after a few minutes of poking around in the machinery, pulled out a screwdriver, gave a particular screw a half turn, and the machinery fired back up again and the assembly line went back into production.<br /><br />The consultant then presented the line manager with a bill for $5,000. The manager reacted with outrage. "I'm not going to pay you $5,000 for turning a screw!"<br /><br />"I'm not charging you for turning a screw, " the consultant replied. "I'm charging you for knowing which screw to turn."<br /><br />That's the kind of person I see in Obama: someone who knows which screw to turn.
