What I like about Kerry

He has been accused of flip-flopping and being indecisive on the issues. I disagree. Kerry is like me, he likes to get as much information as possible before he makes a final decision. Many times he changes his view as he gathers more and more information. Its called making an informed decision. He likes as many sources of information as possible to sift through. Once that is done he makes his decision. There are times however when having made a decision, new information comes to light and upon reevaluation he must change his views.

Bush on the other hand relies on a small contingent of advisors to sift through the information at hand and then advise him of their conclusions. By limiting his information sources and or quantity if sources, he has make some disastrous choices.

Bush's style of management, much like a CEO of a big corporation (he was a business major in college) rules with an iron fist. If I must say, I think, an autocratic style. Its my way or the highway. I may be wrong but I don't see Bush as a People Person. Bush has been continually insulated from the press and public and only the best bytes are put forward to the publics eye. I don't know about you but I want to know more than the glossy image. I want to know the real Bush. What I have seen I don't like.

Having been born and raised in Massachusetts and intimately familiar with New England Blue Blood, I understand the perception of Kerry as being aloof and somewhat distant. People must understand that he probably came from a family where showing affection (hugging kissing and other forms of intimacy) were not part of growing up. For the rest of us who like to show affection, this can be somewhat unsettling and we may get the wrong impression. I do think that Kerry cares, he just doesn't show it. He is however a 'people Person' and works well with others.

I'll be posting more on the last debate shortly. Work comes first. Such is life.
