Gentlemen/women,
Can you all say "bully pulpit?" Yes, the President has the privilege of being able to use the bully pulpit. If there is an issue that needs to be addressed, then he can use that forum to get things done. If congress is out of line, the President is supposed to be able to put them back in place. Sort of like what you do every day as Captains, First Officers, Second Officers and pilots in general. That's what leaders do. Make things right. Not make excuses.
If something goes wrong, I bet "Barry"-- since some of you like to be cute--will take the blame, unlike the "other guy."
Ok, mods. I quit.
If anyone wants to discuss more, PM me.
