He campaigned to win, and that's what he's doing. 2) Maybe CEO isn't the best definition to follow anyway... Haven't we just been dealing with a president who aimed to run the country like a CEO? Hm... If you want to think in terms of the president as a CEO…

She was my senator for six years and met not one campaign promise. She has not sponsored any significant legislation for fear of taking a position. She voted for the war and for and against funding it. If you want a peek at her organizational and fiscal management skills, look at her campaign spending - $106M for what? Neither she nor Obama voted on the FISA bill, a real test of concern for the national security - the primary job of the president. If Clinton and Obama submitted their resumes for $100M company, I would not call either of them for an interview. How can we even consider these two light weights for the CEO of a $14T GDP nation?

However, the fact is that neither did she. Last night’s debate could have been an exceptional opportunity for her to demonstrate Barack Obama’s lack of depth and preparation for the presidency. The questions were actually laid out in a way where she would have had the opportunity to do so effectively (and avoid stilted and poorly delivered lines like that xerox “zinger”), but none was forthcoming.
