Its the management stupid !

Perhaps George W. Bush's greatest failure is his disinterest in management. The self-styled M.B.A. president has fingerprints on some of the greatest management failures in history. From the debacle in Iraq to the criminal mismanagement of the tragedy in New Orleans. Bush's management skills have failed us in ways large and small.
Thats why the fact that Hillary Clinton had to loan her campaign 5 million dollars troubles me. Given that her campaign reported raising over 100 million in 2007 , the fact that she is now essentially broke raises questions about her management skills. A presidential campaign is essentially a fortune 500 company where the candidate serves as the C.E.O. The modern presidential campaign budget is bigger than the G.N.P of some small countries. If a private company took in 100 million plus in revenues and ended up with 5 million dollars in debt two months later , the stock would plummet , shareholders would grumble and the CEO would likely be unemployed.
Management skills , as we have seen vividly the last 8 years , are important. Hillary Clinton's management has been found wanting in several other areas as well. Her inability to control a key asset , Bill Clinton , has damaged her standing with a wide swath of the voters. Her campaign surrogates repeated apologies for various non authorized statements further reflect her lack of management of persons associated with her campaign. She has repeatedly cited her 35 years of experience in why we should consider her for the top job in the world, but all her years of experience has failed her when it comes to the day to day running of her campaign.

If you can't run your campaign , How can you run the country ?
