JB, I have to agree with Andre. We have so many MBAs and bean  
counters controlling what is being done at the highest levels, mostly  
with very little in the world practical knowledge/experience that  
they need to be shown/told how to get out of the "book learning" and  
into the Real world. What else can you expect with a real idiot  
running the U.S.A. at the VERY highest level. I thought most of the  
advice was well conceived; although I already practice it myself - in  
my real world.
