Two quotes from the 2008 primaries:
I’m not an operating officer. Some in this debate around experience seem to think the job of the President is to go in and run some bureaucracy. Well, that’s not my job. My job is to set a vision of “Here’s where the bureaucracy needs to go.”
—Barack ObamaI think it’s important that we have a President who understands that you have to run the government.
—Hillary Clinton
Whatever you think of Hillary, it’s hard to argue that she was wrong here. An effective president needs more than vision and talk. No wonder Obamacare is such a mess.
