I don't know what you do in your company, you might have to make some, too. An executive decision is when you have to make decisions that will affect people's lives that depend on your good judgment. Military men, have to do that. The point they are making is that being a Senator, especially a one year senator, doesn't put you in very many situations to make an executive decision. Neither does being a community organizer and neither does being a college professor.
Granted Palin's executive decision making didn't affect all that many people, because she was mayor of a small town and governor of a sparsely populated state. But her decisions were well received. She did lower taxes, she put more money into the pockets of the people she governed, she took on the special interest groups and shook up the corruption in Alaska. Whatever things she was doing improved their economy and the people liked it.
So by that definition anyone with a job has made executive decisions.Hey my warehouse guy decided to unload the orange truck first instead of the black one so he's qualified to be vp!By your logic Obama giving out grades as a professor is an exectutive decision.
In politics which is what we are talking about executive decisions can only be made by Mayors, Governors ,Presidents etc...Senators and Congressman by definition can not make executive decisions.You can't change the definition to suit your arguement.
I was watching a mccain spokesman being interviewed last night and she was touting how Palin has made all these executive decisions and Obama hasnt made any and the interviewer said well Mccain hasnt made any either and I shit you not the Mccain spokesman just shrugged her shoulders because its true.Nothing really wrong with it because who cares if Palin decided who to hire as trash commisioner but you cannot say Mccain has made an executive decision.
See You In Toledo
