8. I look at who is running in my own way. May be wrong but
I feel the govt. is a service not a business so we need no CEO who rules from the top. I feel the President is a leader who feels what the people wants and runs with it. He then becomes a good or bad President. It is why FDR was so good. He found what the people wanted and pushed for it, not always being right even then. Take WW2 he wanted it long before we got into it and even put England on the loan list but the people or Congress did not want that war. Pearl did that for every one. It is like health care. Looks to me like it is moving into a govt. system. I like Obama pushing it ever so slow as it will come but only when the people really want it. I think Kennedy had this same way. He would get behind what the people wanted like getting behind King. That was iffy if he was going to do it. You know there was a joke about Kennedy when he ran. 'We would vote for him is we also got a new Post Office in town.' If you recall he just made it into office. His percent was very very small. It felt new when he came in I will say that.
