Just this from the blurb: "Get involved in an issue that you're passionate about. It almost doesn’t matter what it is--improving the school system, developing strategies to wean ourselves off foreign oil, expanding health care for kids". Yet another piecemeal, halfway non-solution. He never says "let's create a health system for everybody", not that I heard. It's always "expand this" or "increase that". Reminds me of the politician's language back in self-management times, when they'd always run a campaign for more of something, intensifying this or that, increasing or decreasing... never saying "let's do this-and-this", never trying to achieve anything measurable. Just as long as it was a bit different from yesterday, it was counted as a success while actually moving nothing.

Note that he doesn't suggest "getting rid of dependence on foreign oil", only "developing strategies". So yeah, what if the strategy was developed two weeks ago, what then? Any intention to enact it, perhaps?

Now bring some stuff from the other guy, while I'm in the mood ;).
