Not So Fast, Mr. President

摘要

If only a dunderheaded media were the problem, we'd be a lot less worried. But no. With his everything-all-at-once overhaul of our country's $13 trillion economy, President Obama is unquestionably taking on too much.rnAnd we don't say that because of politics. We say it because of process.rnLook, every leader wants to galvanize change; that's what leaders are supposed to do. And in times of crisis, the change imperative is even more heightened. People are scared; many are angry. They want problems fixed fast.rnBut change-especially massive, frame-breaking change like Obama is pushing-can't just be about getting things done. It has to be about getting the right outcomes, and right outcomes rarely get sorted out in a rush. They emerge from vigorous debate, from grappling with ideas and wallowing in the details of options and consequences, intended and not.
