Lead by Example

I’ve never actually read the Daily Kos before. I neither like nor dislike the site. I did like this article:

I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype

The author decided to make up her own mind. She did her homework!!! That’s what we need right now. We need to do our homework. If we base our decisions only on the candidate’s sales pitches, we’ll end up with the “same thing” that we have today.

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

In Honour of President’s Day

While I’m not a big quote person, I found this post on Presidential Quotes interesting. Here are my favorites:

Warren G Harding
“Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little.”

Richard Nixon
“A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”

Gerald Ford
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”
