President Obama -- reform or resign, sent to Obama and major media

August 25, 2011

To: Barack Obama, President of the United States of America

Mr. President, you were elected with no record of achievements to define you as qualified. Even your academic records were sealed from scrutiny, and still are. A majority of voters supported you in good faith with hope that you would be the leader needed to solve America's problems. After three years, hope has vanished. Rather than being the transformational president hoped for, you have practiced class warfare and partisan politics that render you a most divisive president. You and your advisers have not demonstrated adequate understanding of the economy. Your “stimulus” spending has been a failure, as expected by all but the most ardent adherents to failed Keynesian economic theory. Your flippant comment and laughter after failure of nearly $1 Trillion on “shovel ready... ,” that “shovel ready wasn't as shovel ready as you thought,” was reprehensible, defining you as non-caring and an affront to every American, especially those struggling with no jobs. Your profligate spending, even on campaign-related travel (not even thinly disguised as official state business) is unacceptable. Your domestic policy must be judged a failure. Four trillion dollars in 3 years! Excessive spending and failed policies define you.

You have offended America's most loyal allies in Europe, especially Britain. And, your actions toward Israel are unacceptable. You and your advisers are now defined as inadequate and worse in foreign policy. It is time for change. If you continue on the same course, your presidency will be one of monumental failure. All Americans will be the victims.

You may leave a positive legacy and be viewed as a statesman by doing the following:

  • Declare that you will not be a candidate for president in 2012, freeing you from campaigning. Commit yourself to solving America's problems to prevent her demise.

  • Remove all “czars” and advisers and divorce yourself from radical people who want to transform America to a socialist nation.

  • Fire all economic advisers. Restaff only with people having operations experience.

  • Recruit experienced operations people for interdisciplinary groups to solve critical problems.

  • Divorce from union heads and union people you have in major positions – NLRB e. g. and stop catering to trade and public service unions.

  • Recognize that the economy (now controlled by the financial industry) has problems and government pressure that deter growth and job creation.

  • Fire the heads of agencies, such as EPA, who either do not understand the damage of their actions, or don't care.

  • Begin the process of diminishing, eventually abolishing, the Departments of Education and Energy. Revise drastically the Department of Agriculture.

  • Exit Afghanistan now!

Mr. President, if you are unwilling to take the above actions, resign the Office of President of the United States immediately and let a competent group of people solve our problems and save traditional America from ruin.

Respectfully,

Dr. J. A. Mann, PhD

AMERICAN AIRLINES -- MORE ABOUT UNIONS AND CH 11

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more.  The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry w

LEFTIST MIND-SET OF TODAY -- REFLEXIVE, THOUGHTLESS SUPPORT FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of people who are put into management and supervisory positions for which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often played out. The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the most significant example of this in my lif

ETHANOL -- The worst mandate ever gets even worse

When politicians get control of science and the inept or dishonest scientists, nothing good comes of it. There are many examples -- global warming (aka climate change) is the most prominent. The ethanol mandate, although a part of the climate change mania, stands on its own as arguably the most ridiculous mandate of all time. President Jimmy Carter, who was influenced by a misguided college professor, can be charged with the mistake of promulgating the ethanol mandate.  Of course, Al Gore is the politician who played the global warming issue like a drum and has benefited financially from it. Use of ethanol in motor fuel is not a net positive either in costs or in impact on the environment.... enormous hype to the contrary notwithstanding. Ethanol does not have the positive effect on the environment as touted. It has only about 60% of the specific energy of petroleum fuel, which begs use of more fuel to achieve the same energy as petroleum fuel. And, so it does. I have my own experie
