Who can lead the most controversial Nation in the World?
Requisites: A President with extraordinary Leadership, Managerial & Cognitive abilities (Wharton Faculty)
The President will face
--> Two Countries in open war
--> A lot of countries in Cold war
The indomitable Congress (Pity if the candidate is Republican)
The Global Landscape
o The post 9/11 World
o A stabilized Iraq and the US Troop Dilemma
o The Nuclear Chip and a stable US-Iranian understanding
o Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Taliban
o The Russian Resurgence
o European disunity and the military weakness
o Israel, Turkey, China and Latin America
o The US Defence Budget
Who will lead?
Facts:
Americans need a leader not a manager
A manager, Senator Hillary Clinton bowed out of the competition
Senator Obama stands out as a Leader
Mccain displays leadership qualities
What kind of a leader does the US demand?
Leadership is the function of the followers and the environment
Obama’s view of the voters:
The key word in any Obama speech is “you.” Other politicians talk about what they will do if elected. Obama talks about what you can do if you join together. Like a community organizer on a national scale, he is trying to move people beyond their cynicism, make them believe in themselves, mobilize their common energies. Cool headed. Focused.
Mccain’s Tone:
An autocratic leader who aims to stop not till he makes US the supreme power. He says he will ‘Win’ Iraq, Iran, etc… Will not take no for an answer.
The Right choice still is doubtful but the better among the two would be Obama.
But in a time of change, Senator Obama is the more promising leader. With his agile mind, often pitch-perfect judgment and preternatural calm and self-confidence, he seems built for the job of sorting through this thing, if anybody can.
