Barack Obama as CEO
Tim O’Reilly explains in great detail why he’s supporting Barack Obama, but I think the final paragraphs tell the entire story and sum up the massive differences:
The final argument for the presidency of Barack Obama is the enormous competence he has shown in running his campaign. He has demonstrated unprecedented ability to motivate people, to gather support for his vision and his programs, and to surround himself with people who can execute on that vision. For the past two years, he’s managed what you could easily think of as the fastest growing and best-funded startup in America, and as CEO of that startup, he’s come through with flying colors.
If Barack Obama were a company, I’d say he was ready for the IPO. And I for one intend to buy shares on November 4. I hope you will too.
Being a great capitalist and CEO means building great things and bringing huge numbers of people with you, not pocketing all the profits while you undermine the core of the organization.
