A modest proposal.
The real difference in 2009 will be in the various
Secretaries and their underlings and staff who go
in with the new President.
They are the actual new government. Those hidden
people. They do the governing. Those appointments
waiting to surprise us. Those wizards or fools.
Why not require that candidates expose their new
teams prior to the general election? Perhaps
subject these teams to competency and
decision-making tests of some kind? Have them
debate as well?
Think of the way Bush's team influenced the course
of the past eight years.
Yet we are hypnotized into reducing everything to
personality cult. This one person. Obama. McCain.
This candidate's scandalous beliefs about guns or
abortions or some other topic outside the scope of
executive government ... a sideshow. The true edge
is in the governing team. So show them.
