Hi folks!

Senator Clinton's campaign - and with her descendency, now Senator McCain's - is using Obama's asset (exceptional ability to galvanize Americans through his moving speeches) and trying to turn that into a liability.

As a serial successful entrepreneur and having led a dispirited product team (Cisco PIX Firewall) from a planned end-of-life to what continues to this day to be a world-leading multi-billion dollar success, I question that line of reasoning.

Yes he is passionate, and he is articulate, and he has plans for saving our country.  Trying to separate the three is like trying to take the cream out of Ice-cream. In fact it is Senator Clinton's - and to a lesser, but still marked extent, Senator McCains's - inability in motivating the youth and overcoming voter apathy in their long careers that we should be afraid of, and point to as a sign of their lack of qualifications to be the optimal commander in chief.

The best CEOs are the best salespeople for their company. They sell the vision and the message of the company most effectively using the power of words. If you cannot do that, why should you run for the job?

Senator Obama's power to motivate the youth and quash voter apathy is what can help us turn policy papers into reality.

I like the cream in my ice-cream.

-cheers!
