Being president is easy.

If this was true, we’d see grey roots coming in, not the progressive speckling of grey like you see in Mr. Obama.

Dafuq? What on earth did he ever say that could possibly have led you to that conclusion?

Wrongo, Pal! That’s only if your hair is all gray, or some other deviation. When I dyed my hair, and the dye faded, my hair color was a speckling of gray…like Mr. Obama.

Still smarting over that other thread, are we?

Well I do agree that he probably thought that it would be easier than it turned out to be. He started off under the assumption that the opposition would be willing to negotiate with him for the good of the country rather that to have the failure of his administration as their sole aim.

Corporations and companies often serve only a small fraction of their customer base. The Board of Directors and CEO and other top executives of a Fortune 500 company are often as insular to customer demand as you describe a president, and there’s no mechanism you can do to oust them. Even if they lose money, they can still choose to keep the management team intact and give themselves golden parachutes.

Your analogy is trite, simplistic, and ideologically biased.

Oh, absolutely. I’m sure he expected people to act like grownups.

But going into one of the most important positions in the world, as the first African American president, in the middle of two wars and the worst recession since 1929? He thought it was going to be easy?? That’s well beyond absurd and heading toward abject idiocy.

Cite?

This is going well.

John, you should know that words inside quote tags shouldn’t be altered. They certainly shouldn’t be altered to insult another poster.

Warning issued. Please don’t do it again.

Aren’t you allowed to cut off posts when quoting so you’re not quoting the whole thing? I regularly remove paragraphs, rearrange them, or shorten the quoted paragraph to the first sentence or a part of the first sentence. :confused:

That’s allowed, so long as the edits aren’t done so as to wholly distort the meaning of the post. Or, obviously, as a set up to insult the intelligence of another poster.

Sure there is. Obtain enough shares to elect a majority of directors.

is the OP contending that being President is so easy, even a [del]caveman[/del] Paul (Ron or Rand) can do it? :dubious:

Staying at a Holiday Inn Express should do it.

You realize that many if not boards are organized so that a majority of directors are not up for election at any one time?
And that it is difficult or impossible to nominate directors as a shareholder?
And that in one case I know of a director who lost a vote got reappointed to fill the now empty slot.
If you have enough money to buy a significant number of shares you might be able to influence the board. Otherwise, you have an equally good chance of unseating the current Castro in a Cuban election.

So?

Who do you think nominates directors, then? :dubious:

I didn’t say it was cheap, merely that it was possible.
