He even put everything on the line for a comprehensive health care bill. Seems tough and courageous to me. It seems their version of manning up is more for show. These guys like their cowboys drinking scotch and smoking cigars(hmmm). Throw some tough talk in for good measure. We could use a new political media. They care more for theatrics than results. The debate isn't about the merits of Obama's decision. It's about being a real man? To me he's closer to Kipling's poem about being a man than anything they're about. <br />Vic78Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-59576136300413771792013-09-02T14:49:56.725-05:002013-09-02T14:49:56.725-05:00When I've heard PBO talk about this kind of th...When I've heard PBO talk about this kind of thing he usually focuses on mutual interests & shared goals/outcomes. <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/03/obama-to-iran-and-israel-as-president-of-the-united-states-i-dont-bluff/253875/" rel="nofollow">Check out how he talks about his strategy with Iran.</a>Nancy LeTourneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614317154146836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-87897704434223267242013-09-02T14:15:50.489-05:002013-09-02T14:15:50.489-05:00As an internal political matter, this is a good su...As an internal political matter, this is a good summary of the power of the President's decisions. However, the need for partnership extends beyond our national boundaries. I presume that President and Secretary of State are trying to line up support from the Arab League, Israel, Turkey, and many other interested parties; but are they doing that as partners, or are they twisting arms?

They were working 18 hour days and were totally frazzled even sleeping at the office. They were two weeks from deadline when they suddenly got a brand new manager. In great trepidation, they attended their first staff meeting, terrified that it would either kill the project or hamper their ability to even breathe. The manager asked, "What can I do to help you finish?" Someone facetiously said, "Do my laundry!" Others, laughing in exhaustion agreed. <br /><br />And that is precisely what he did. He got their keys, did their laundry, and they, refreshed and revived, finished on time and well. <br /><br />That is the power of partnership and nurturance as well as just smart. Power 'with' rather than power 'over' always works. Always.Churchladynoreply@blogger.com
