One of the Biggest Errors of 

Obama Clinton Edwards politics is

They're Selling Egos and Personalities.

.

Old Perspective:    The typical presidential candidate puts forth messages that create the following impression:    "I am special.   As THE President, I'll be in charge of everything.   Trust me."   (When was the last time we had a President, particularly a Republican President who kept his campaign promises?)

The New Perspective Would Sound Like This:   As your President, I am the nation's team leader.   Mr. Bush runs the Presidency as if he were privileged royalty, King George.**    When you experience my presidency, you'll see a distinct difference.   You'll see that it's a team effort.   You'll see that I am "The Team Leader."    Any good leader, has hundreds (or even thousands) of people working toward a common goal.   As your nation's elected leader, my job is to inspire all of us to work together toward the common goal of restoring our nation's health, wealth, and prosperity.  

**   Perhaps some of you who are versed in history remember King George of England and what the team led by George Washington did to him. 

The New Perspective Would Sound Like This:    Any good leader has a team of trusted advisers.   He does not make decisions based on his ego or on personal, unprovable beliefs.    He bases his decisions upon what the evidence indicates is the best possible choice in that moment.   Then, based upon the evidence and upon what his advisers have told him, his primary job is to weigh the consequences of all pending decisions and to know when to say "yes" and when to say "no."   There is no one presently running for President who is better at this process than I am.   

The New Perspective Would Sound Like This:  You are hiring me as an individual . . .  Yes, I said "hiring me," and I said "hiring" because, as your president, I am your employee, not your boss.   I work for you.   You don't work for me.   We are all working together to recreate a nation of health, wealth, and prosperity for all of us -- not just for the wealthy, but for all of us.

When you hire me, you also hire the entire Democratic Party, and you hire me to be the Nations Team Leader.   There are thousands of highly skilled and diversely talented men and women working in the Democratic Party.   When you elect me, you also elect them.   Together, you, and that team, and I will turn this country around and take from, its present path of senseless war,       needless environmental destruction,    and    to the path of health, wealth, and prosperity. incredible destructive deficit financing

Compare:  Compare the Bush/McCain Team with the Obama Team.   Expose the dozens of major criminal activities and incredibly unethical activities of Republicans during the past eight years.  Ask is this the team you want running the country for another four years? 

Bring up a long list of the most credible Democrats.   Say these are the people who will assist me and advise me during the Obama Administration.   We don't claim to be perfect, but I will say this:  Criminal activities by trusted elected officials will not be tolerated under an Obama Administration.
