In the Washington Post, we find a story that makes us wonder what the president is doing these days. Aides tell us that he's "engaged" with the issues, but with Bush pretty much out-of-sight, you how can we be sure? The president isn't the type of guy who likes to get into the messy details; he prefers to delegate tasks. But that may change soon. According to Warren Christopher, in his New York Times Op-Ed,"I am convinced that this [North Korean] crisis requires sustained attention from top government officials, including the president. It's important to remember that devising a solution for the North Korean crisis will require sustained diplomatic efforts with China, South Korea and other countries of the region. All this will take time, energy and attention." So much for the detached-CEO approach to governing. |
