Could Barak Obama be one of Nassim Taleb’s Black Swans?

Maybe, I dont know yet. It is one thing to pick a dream team cabinet. It is another to govern when the unexpected comes down and hits when you least expect it. Character and core values matter then. Humans by nature are poor judges of that in ourselves and others.

Yet anyone who has experienced getting up after a precious few hours sleep to make yet one more critical, maybe life or death decision, more times than you can remember, could understand. You are not qualified in your own mind. You are suboptimal now. Yet nobody else can make this call.

Show time – lets go.

As a (l)ibertarian who has nearly always voted Republican I have a wait and see attitude at this point.

I want Republicans to succeed. Reeling from a resounding defeat there is an opportunity to re-evaluate, but not on the media issues of the day. Time now to think about what we stand for.

That said, I am impressed so far. You cant convince me that the appointments to this point are some sort of stealth move conspiracy. Try that line and you will keep loosing. Can he make this team work and keep control? That remains to be decided.

I would suggest a starting point. Our job market and economy are on a tipping point and near total collapse. Rebublicans can reposition themselves as the champions of working Americans everywhere and of any type.

The American dream is real. Like it or not the GOP has been seen by too many people as an exclusive club. Yet the Republicans have sometimes come through as the real champions of liberty, tolerace, and freedom when the push came to shove.

Time to do that now.

‘Za Rabotu’ as my Russian-born grandfather used to say when I got up for school in the morning with my orange juice. Time to get up for work.
