A company run by star power and value based on star power can never retain the same value when the star leaves. Micro-management ensures that the rest of the management is stagnated and can't assume decision making powers. I am not saying that this is a planned event. I am saying Read More]]> http://wmgd.net/my-take-on-four-tales-of-companies-after-their-legendary-leaders-leave/feed/ 0 http://wmgd.net/my-take-on-biden-xi-talk-up-ties/ http://wmgd.net/my-take-on-biden-xi-talk-up-ties/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:57:00 +0000 admin http://wmgd.net/my-take-on-biden-xi-talk-up-ties/ Read More]]> http://wmgd.net/my-take-on-biden-xi-talk-up-ties/feed/ 0 http://wmgd.net/commentary-on-heard-on-the-street-a-long-and-winding-road-for-electric-vehicles/ http://wmgd.net/commentary-on-heard-on-the-street-a-long-and-winding-road-for-electric-vehicles/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:55:29 +0000 admin http://wmgd.net/commentary-on-heard-on-the-street-a-long-and-winding-road-for-electric-vehicles/ @ George, Regardless where one falls on whether we should have entered Irag or Afghanistan, Obama has not just inherited these wars, he has voluntarily and actively expanded their scope and/or length at various points in his presidency. He has also invaded and/or attacked Pakistan, Somalia, and Libya. He has also claimed he can start and run any war without Read More]]> http://wmgd.net/commentary-on-heard-on-the-street-a-long-and-winding-road-for-electric-vehicles/feed/ 0 http://wmgd.net/my-analysis-on-colorado-gop-writes-its-own-invitation-to-the-tea-party/ http://wmgd.net/my-analysis-on-colorado-gop-writes-its-own-invitation-to-the-tea-party/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:50:11 +0000 admin http://wmgd.net/my-analysis-on-colorado-gop-writes-its-own-invitation-to-the-tea-party/ Do you just make this stuff up, or are you that clueless? 1) If you know anything about the tea parties, they are filled with people that OPPOSE government control of our lives. That is the opposite of the socialists that want full control over our lives. 2) Despite what the left keeps preaching, Bush was NOT a conservative.

Fox obviously has that relationship with the Obama White House. Obama takes too much offense at this, and should respectfully answer his critics with facts supporting his position.
