A 'C' President
Before this last election, I heard some
comments about George Bush being a C student in college and not a very
good student. Let me get a few side points out - It has been uncovered
that John Kerry received even slightly lower grades. Also some C students
are very bright. They don't apply themselves to assigned work but to studies
that interest them.
The question is - what difference does it make if the
presdient is not bright?
One thing you will notice is that don't plan well. When
something goes wrong, they can recognize that something is wrong and react
to it, but they are surprised by events.
Another thing is they make expeditious decisions that
have implications - costs and side effects - that they do not anticipate
and thus don't factor into their cost-benefit analyses.
Think back to your days in the classroom. What kind
of answers did the C student give? Often answers that overlooked significant
factors. Is that what we want in a President?
