Reality Never Measures Up

Obama.
Reality meets the vision. Stupid reality, always getting in the way.

At work my managers create visions, nice tidy analytical visions, all the numbers add up. Then, a reality check - here is how it really works in the field.

The hope surrounding Obama after his election was immense. He has indeed changed the world, remember the Bush years? Remember being embarrassed to see your president who could not string sentences together, and thought we didn't need to cooperate with other nations, it was our right to live like free cowboys..

Well kudos to Obama for creating a spirit of synergy in the world.

Now we have all settled in to reality. Everyone gets to vent about their president for 24 hours a year (2 hours a month, or you can batch it all up and vent for 24 hours straight). Some of us didn't whine for a long time. So just catching up..

Dear Barack -
Be less concerned with image. Be more concerned with the long-term effects of your actions and policies. Look inside - capture your spider sense.
