Aside from the extremely bad news the president received regarding his attempt to grant amnesty to 5 million or so illegal aliens, there isn’t very much new going on today.

 

As far as the illegal’s go, washingtontimes.com reports that a “federal judge late Monday halted President Obama’s deportation amnesty, ruling he overstepped his powers in trying to grant legal status and “benefits and privileges” to millions of illegal immigrants, in a stunning decision that chides the president and throws the White House’s plans into disarray just a day before applications were to be accepted.” So, it seems like it’s back to the drawing boards on that one.

 

The lull in the news, however, provides time to return to the premise made here yesterday regarding basic qualifications required for those seeking the presidency of the U.S.. Because, as history’s proven, especially recently, the damage an unproven amateur can befall on the nation is beyond disastrous.

 

First and foremost, although political belief is at the core of presidential candidacies, the nation doesn’t run on theories and ideological beliefs, Continued presidential success depends primarily on managerial capability, knowledge and experience in similar circumstances.

 

For example, $18 trillion dollars in debt can’t be repaid or reduced by talking or theorizing about it. Debt reduction derives only from curbs in spending, budget decreases and dedicated, continual payments toward the outstanding balance. Governors of large states know how to do that.

 

Job opportunity doesn’t derive from government plans or programs. Gainful employment stems from entrepreneurs, business investment, overall economic growth and unencumbered opportunity. Rising tides raise all boats, including economic ones. Governors of large, successful industrial states know that.

 

Success in business, or government, also depends extensively on leader's ability to attract, train, promote and retain the most highly qualified individuals available. Which means those at the top must have a clear, accurate and comprehensive understanding of what their subordinates responsibilities entail. Otherwise, underlings can cause extensive damage to the entity, or give competition a clear, unwarranted advantage. Successful managers of large business entity’s know that, as do governor’s of large productive states.

 

Clear, comprehensive communication is another critical factor in business or government success. However, “communication” doesn’t mean platitudes, barbs and canned rhetoric blown through a bullhorn or microphone on a podium. Communication is two-way, with feedback heard and learned from. Successful business leaders and governors of large thriving states know that.

 

While the list goes on to include innumerable aspects of what’s required to “manage” a commercial enterprise, or government entity as well, regardless of the oratorical skills possessed by any individual, if the managerial experience, knowledge and capabilities don’t exist, success cannot be accomplished. And, as the last six years have proven unquestionably, when the one at the top has no skills, the only kind of success attainable is purely theoretical.

 

That's it for today folks.
