Ben Kinchlow argues that if we apply performance standards from business and sports to U.S. President Barack Obama, it is clear that voters should give him the boot in November. The conservative minister writes: "How likely is the board of directors to rehire a CEO who leads a multi-million dollar corporation into bankruptcy and blames it on the man he replaced four years ago? Can you imagine the owner of the Dallas Cowboys rehiring a coach who blames four consecutive losing seasons on the coach he replaced four years earlier? Or the sprinter trying for a berth on the Olympic team who hasn’t qualified because some other guy bumped him in the 100 yard dash four years ago? Or a losing jockey being signed to ride in the Kentucky Derby who keeps blaming a horse he rode four years ago?
More: "A coach, quarterback, jockey or sprinter with four consecutive losing seasons would be hard pressed to land a starting berth. Why? The simple truth is they are judged on their record. Question: If this is suitable for something as inconsequential as sports, why is it not as vital for something as important as serving the people as their elected representative – say, the presidency, for instance?"
