Showing respect and consideration for other people involved in a process makes everything go smoother in the end, even if it means you have to spend more time on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemawashi" rel="nofollow"><i>nemawashi</i></a> on the front end. <br /><br />Ironically, in many ways (both for his supporters and opponents) Obama's whole governing style is at the extreme, extreme end of rigid, atomised, formalistic, rule-governed "Western" cultural styles. Working in an East Asian culture would probably have been utter hell for him. Probably any non-Western culture (though I only have experience of East Asian so I can't really say).Balfegorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012196656096263507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-68680657834323966092013-02-04T17:57:16.137-06:002013-02-04T17:57:16.137-06:00Re: David:

To be fair, he did better than the Democrats' candidates for the House, though I suspect there are redistricting/gerrymandering effects in play there.Balfegorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012196656096263507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-12717606990911454552013-02-04T17:26:29.423-06:002013-02-04T17:26:29.423-06:00I remember Trent Lott telling a story about how Cl...I remember Trent Lott telling a story about how Clinton would daily give him some Presidential trinket (I forget what it was) that he could give to one of his constituents.

That GOTV effort of his that put him over the top is probably what saved the Senate for the Dems and cut down the Republican advantage in the House. <br /><br />As pointed out above, Obama doesn't do consensus. He doesn't even try. During his first two years, he worked with Nancy and Harry, and that was all he needed to do. They got pretty much all he wanted through Congress, maybe not the way he wanted, but in substance. Then, he lost the House, and this approach quit working. If he really, really, needs something from Congress, he sends "Slo Joe" Biden, which is probably why he hired the guy in the first place. This has a lot of advantages. One is that the VP has something to do. And secondly, working Congress doesn't cut into his golf game, or, now, apparently trap, or skeet, or shooting of something somewhere, along with his basketball, and hobnobbing with his buddies from Hollywood. Win-win all around.
