Effective Leadership
I simply don’t understand Dennis Kucinich , first he votes no on SCHIP.
But according to Brian Rothenburg at Progress Ohio, the SCHIP vote was a protest:
So Dennis Kucinich, standing on the House floor Tuesday night, knew he had an opportunity to send a message without significantly impacting the bottom line vote, he knew he had a bully pulpit through his David v. Goliath Presidential campaign, and used the opportunity to make us think about an issue greater than that vote – why would we inject illegal border dispute issues into a matter that deals with legal, immigrant kids that our taxpayer’s pay the bill for anyway.
A protest that had no effect - and why should it? Hell, he could’ve voted yes and expressed his concerns anyway, no?
Now he stops talking to the PD. But a few months back he was happy to help legitimize FOX news. Ummmm…. Huh?
I think he’s been a politician too long - like many of our current leaders, he seems to be simply “keeping his job”. At a time when we need effective leaders the most - Dennis seems interested in one thing - being all things to all people.
Looks like he has a challenger: www.rosemarypalmerforcongress.com
I’m new to Ohio - so I can’t vouch for Rosemary. But we are overdue for a change in status-quo.
