Battlin' Barry

Every basic management class will tell you that when you step into a new position the time to make changes is sooner rather than later. President Barack Obama apparently sneaked into a few management courses while he was getting his law degree because his action plan comes right from the management textbooks. Obama is riding high in the polls and he has not yet been sucked into the Washington political and bureaucratic mechanisms that grind up the newcomer and which prevent even the slightest element of change to breathe.

Today, Obama let us know that he expects a battle from the entrenched interests that will be threatened by his vision for the American future. And Obama basically quotes W.'s immortal words, "Bring it on!"

"These steps won't sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business. I know they're gearing up for a fight as we speak. My message to them is this: So am I.


Play this and wait until the last minute or so for the good stuff.
