Mark Cuban for Vice President

A continuation on the leadership theme. Have to go there today, considering yesterday’s historic events. And I don’t mean Daunte Culpepper possibly becoming the new Lions’ QB.

How long has it been since you’ve seen a leader with the strength, fire, conviction, and intelligence of our new President? It’s pretty impressive stuff. He might even be qualified for the second toughest job in the world right now: coaching the Michigan football team.

The best commentary I’ve seen on the President-elect and his innate ability to not just motivate, but electrify, came from Mark Cuban. His blog Maverick is often long and thoughtful, mostly about economic issues, but once in a while, he cuts to the chase with a ridiculously insightful POV, which he would probably say is nothing more than his opinion. In this case, his support of Obama was anything but economically motivated—it was a direct result of his pride in being an American. And a great observation on what Obama’s election means to this country. Check it out.

If it’s true that confidence shows itself as generosity, Obama/Cuban might be just the ticket in ’12.
