Best Leaders
Holy cow, the unaccomplished Robert Gates made this list of best leaders.
The reflexive Obama bashers on this site will say that the MSM only listed him in order to inflate Obama's phony rep for bipartisanship. When they're reminded that this list was made before Obama picked Gates to stay on, they'll just go back to threatening to stay at home if taxes are raised on people who are much richer than they.
Well, Rob, if you know what we're all going to say, you take all the fun out of us saying it.
Besides, I don't recall ever "threatening to stay at home" although with this swine/Mexican/H1 whatever flu going around...
Reminds me of those lists you see in the in-flight magazines of best steakhouses.
I never said Gates was unaccomplished. He does have a doctorate, though he needed to shop his dissertation around first. He was an okay director of central intelligence and he's an okay Secretary of Defense. He's neither incompetent nor remarkable. Had you made a reference to Gates back when Bush was president I would have responded in exactly the same way.
What is it that you find so remarkable about him? What has he accomplished that you find especially impressive?
