    Naw they just convince others to do the job for them.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    I'd much rather be counted among the "drive the process" crowd than to be among the "let it happen", "I'm a victim and I can't get up" crowd anyday.

    I believe in participatory government .. something that is strange and unknown to most Americans.

    The drive the process crowd are usually more of a hindrance to actually getting things accomplished. They are convinced of their own superiority, yet usually are only good at fronting hard.

    You can count almost all accomplished people among those who drive the process. True accomplishment does not occur in a vacuum and it doesn't happen "just because", my good brother.

    You can count almost all leaders, good and bad, among those who drive the process. George Bush was not a leader, Dick Cheney was .. and he drove the process.

    Martin Luther King drove the process, as did Malcolm X, as did Robert Kennedy.

    It's strange that post this now because I just told a group of journalism students from Spelman and Clark that they must drive the process in the issues they become involved in. I told them of their responsibility to drive the process.

    It's the same message I preach to every audience I get a chance to preach to .. and my brother, contrary to your distaste for it, obviously a lot of people like that message because they keep asking me to preach it. My plate is full.

    The message is simple, there is a difference between being a citizen and a subject. The Declaration of Independence DECLARES that citizens drive the political process, not be driven by politicians.

    Your life determines that you drive the process, not be driven by environment, fear, or need for approval.

    .. just my take brother.

    Most people who actually drive the process are too busy doing to be running around telling other people to "drive the process". People who say "Drive the process" are not necessarily the same people who actually drive.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    They may not have done much for you, but that was never their objective. Their objective was to do well for themselves at the expense of other people .. and let's see the hands of those who don't believe mission accomplished beyond their wildest expectations .. in fact, for many of them, we're still giving them trillions of dollars ... AND .. here's the punch line .. some of them, like Summers and Geithner, are now being relied on the get us out of this mess while they give away untold amounts of taxpayer money to people who "drove the process"



    No wait ..that ain't the funniest part .. get this .. YOU VOTED FOR THEM. They're in the Obama Administration.

    I'm laughin' my ass off here.

    Not exactly. They moslty sit around and admire themselves, while belittling the contributions of others.

    Driving the process does not necessarily mean playing every role.

    Driving the process is understanding your role and doing it.
