Exactly- the man got things done. That is the job. He didn't just talk about things, he did them. I heard the quote again today- GW Bush on Ted Kennedy. Wish I could find it, but he said something about Ted being one of the most effective legislators. He got things done. He worked across party lines and got legislation passed. He worked with Bush a couple of times and got things done. He found the common ground and put it in to action.
