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.
We will take the country from the present,
Republican path of senseless war,
needless environmental destruction.
We will end the
Bush-led,
Republican party's incredible destructive deficit financing. We will
return the country
to it's former path of
health, wealth, and prosperity.
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.
