10. Yeah well,
"Administrator" was just the first word that came to mind. I did actually consider manager instead, but decided to go with my first instinct.

Albert Einstein observed,"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we are at when we created them."


That's a pretty darn effective way to sum up the situation as well. bottom line is for all the arguments about Clinton's experience, it's experience doing what that is my main concern. And everything I see says it's experience running things exactly the same way almost any run of the mill Democratic politician would run things, which is not something most people on this forum have usually been all that ecstatic about if they take a minute to stop and reflect. Good intentions, usually... and little to no effective follow through because they lack the tools necessary to garner the needed support from the general population to do anything significant and make it stick. Better than the average Republican and how they handle things, hand down no question, but not good enough. Especially measured against the potential Obama represents for real, concrete reform.
