Stop trying to explain away incidents where your boss tells the world that the private sector is “doing fine” and start trying to KEEP YOUR BOSS FROM SAYING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Seriously. The days where President Obama could say whatever darn fool thing that pops into his head have PASSED. Vet his speeches. Make him learn how to answer a yes-or-no question in less than five minutes. Teach him message discipline.
Actually… no, wait, you’re doing fine. Never mind!
“Actually… no, wait, you’re doing fine. Never mind!”
No worries there, Moe. I think it was from you that I learned that you are perfectly safe giving them good advice – loudly and publicly even – because they’ll never, ever listen to it. Besides, if the man were capable of learning this particular lesson, he would have by now. He can no more communicate with the real word than he can flap his arms and fly. Which is to say, he can if a machine is doing the work for him.
No aid and comfort to the enemy, Moe, no matter what kind of bus their driving these days.
