Great quote from Obama!
To me, the essence of leadership is the ability to conceive a better reality, to convey this vision to others and to motivate them to work towards that goal. Here's the quote:


Of all the things that George Bush has ever said that I disagree with, perhaps the thing that bothers me most is how he derides and degrades the American tradition of seeing and seeking a better future. He mocks it as the “vision thing.” But just remember what the Scripture says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”


Oh, wait... not Obama. That was Bill Clinton from 1992. What happened to him?

2. That's the one. He also said:
"I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country."

Which doesn't sound like an argument. It sounds more like a smear.

What happened to Bill's vision for a better America? Is it just about Clintons winning now?
