Presidency vs. CEO

The article compares Bush's job responisbilities as our president to that of his responsibilites as a previous CEO. In order to be successful you will have to face loss, sometimes more sometimes less. There are four "big bets" listed in the article. Accordingly Bush has had only one of the three bets pay off. When looking at the presidency as a business, that is considerably successful. The ideal of course is to achieve all your goals but it just doesn't happen. This being the case his presidency should continue to give him the time necessary to fulfill the final three bets.
