Mostly Inspirational, Some Managerial
YouTube/Ebenezer speechhttp://www.youtube.com/...
Apparently, Obama's speech at Ebenezer Baptist Church has been a big hit on YouTube. And just look at the all the rave reviews from viewers around the world! I watched that speech myself and it was amazing! I was moved. Many of the viewers claimed to be in tears.
I've always believed that 2/3 of the job of being president is being an inspirational leader. The president has the bully pulpit. He/she sets the agenda and tone. ALL of our celebrated presidents: Lincoln,Roosevelt, Kennedy and yes...even Reagan, were INSPIRATIONAL figures nationally and around the world. NONE of our celebrated presidents were noted as skilled policy wonks. Only 1/3 of the job, if believe, is being a policy wonk with. Obama clearly trounces Hillary on the first part. Hillary, I'll admit, bests Obama on the second part but Obama's skills here are plenty sufficient as well.
