Of course it is. But honestly, I don't think there's any policy that can benefit from George W. Bush's input. Is this bad leadership? Of course it is.

I was likable. The kind of guy could have a beer with even if he was a little Arkansaw greasy. No Bush, not any longer. He used to be a good old Texan or at least that is who he branded himself -- well, he does have some similarities to LBJ. Constitutional Amendment: 100 year moritorium on electing Texans to the Prez.

It's still a big number though . . . sigh. I’m just counting down the days until that man is out of office – literally – with the Bush Countdown clock I got for Christmas.

A good CEO would want to hear dissenting opinions. Would want to know the bad news. Would put the best person (not a crony) in leadership positions. Plan for the future. This man is the exact opposite. It has nothing to do with being a CEO; the problem is, he is a bad CEO.

We have had past governments (and I hate to confess the present one is starting to go this way as well) who have put far too much stock in dogma and ignored the realities of the world. Yes too, you might deserve better leadership. But the reality remains... <b>You have the leadership you selected</b> Or as my grandmother might have said "You made the bed, you sleep in it".
