Quotable quotes: Obama tidbits

by Miki Saxon

In the wake of historic election (sorry, but have you ever tried to write something even a bit original about a subject that the entire world is talking/writing about? Well, it’s not easy, so I’m not even trying:) I went looking for some neat quotes for today.

I mean, who else would I quote five days after history was made, but the guy who made it?

“We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.” (Excellent? Most folks seem to think that ‘OK’ is adequate and ‘good’ is something for which to strive.)

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” (Our MAP / our choice.)

“What Washington needs is adult supervision.” (One can only hope that we finally have it.)

“The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.” (Gonna be a lot longer!)

Want to know more about Obama’s leadership style? Last month I posted an analysis of it by Kevin Cashman, author of Leadership From The Inside Out (which I reviewed here.)
