Compare and Contrast

Speaking of Bad Attitudes...

Two conflicting views of the presidency:
George W. Bush:
“I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I’m the decider, and I decide what is best.”
Barack Obama:“Understand where the vision for change comes from, first and foremost,” he told reporters at his third press conference in as many days. “It comes from me. That’s my job, is to provide a vision in terms of where we are going, and to make sure, then, that my team is implementing.”

I feel much better now. I’m not even troubled anymore about the prospect of having a national security adviser named Jim Jones.
