Really, do you really want to compare Obama sayings with Bush sayings. :) I don't know if I want my president to take an exam.

Well, that's what some of the officials in New Haven believed.

But these were management jobs. None of these guys were going to put out actual fires.

Being a people-pleaser is a personal characteristic that you wouldn't observe in an objective test on foreign policy. Again, you're talking about leadership, not objective knowledge.

One more point, if the last 7 presidential candidates had to take a test to be president: knowledge of economics, history, foreign affairs, science, etc. Every objective thinking person would one who agree (even the candidates themselves) that the top scorers would all be democrats: Clinton, Obama (Obama/Clinton), Gore, Kerry, Dole, McCain, Bush.

Bush and Obama didn't run against each other. In any event, you're actually making my point. No one would say that Bush is smarter than Obama. I doubt Bush himself would say that he's smarter than Obama. But he and his supporters would say that he has better instincts, better leadership abilities. And that's my point.

Why is that scary? Do you vote for the smartest person? If you voted for Bush, then the answer is no.

The problem is that management jobs require a command presence. People keep saying I don't care about race of the firefighter as long as they can put out a fire. I don't care about race of a leader in fire department as long as he/she can lead. Studying for an exam and scoring well doesn't mean you can lead in a complex bureaucracy. You can't prepare for the contingencies of leadership. So, in this instance, I prefer command presence over knowledge.

Here's a scenario: There's your leadership test and a written exam. There are ten applicants 2 black 2 Hispanic and 6 white, and 5 management positions. Everyone passes the written exam. The two Hispanic applicants receive the highest scores on the leadership test. But the whites receive the 5 highest composite scores. Who should get the jobs?
