Obama’s Critique of Sanders

This is slightly mis-labelled. The president was not attacking Sanders’ ideology of fairness. But he was clearly separating himself from Sanders’ dogmatic insistence on revolutionary transformation.

And it just got to me. I dunno. Just that note of hope, of acknowledging the progress... It got to me.

Thanks for sharing that. It reminds me of a lot of the "change management" issues that my company is dealing with right now. Change is slow, and incremental, and frustrating, but when I look at where we are now compared to a year ago, I can see so much progress - and it makes me proud of everything we've accomplished. We couldn't have done that if we hadn't listened to, and gotten buy-in from, other departments outside our own.

There is another article (which I'll need to find) which talks about this in detail. The way change on a big scale must be slow, or it won't work. The systems are too complicated.

And I'm happy your company is going forwards. :)
