      <description>&lt;p&gt;You are looking good! Great article, brings back memories especially of &lt;span class="caps"&gt;JFK&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Skills needed to &amp;#8220;run&amp;#8221; the governemnt are not the classical &amp;#8220;management&amp;#8221; skills used in business (consider the current dolt in the White House with an &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MBA&lt;/span&gt;). We need a leader who can select good, competent people to do the managing for him. The President&amp;#8217;s job is to develop policies and set priorities, to negotiate legislation, to get people to work to gether.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
