Until you take the 100s of biliions of US$ that run your country out of politics and insulate the President from its effects, I doubt that you will have a really admiral President again .... just MHO though ....

Lawrence Peter is my hero

And one of the few management principles that I think is correct !!!!!

(but that's not something that I have ever told my boss - even though I think he proves the validity of the principle )

One of my favourite comments was on my school report when I was about 10 ....

"Unfortunately, James has learnt at a very early age what is considered to be the acceptable minimum."
