Bush correct to dump execs from delegation

To the Editor,

I’ve always enjoyed Jeffrey Silva’s articles. I read with interest his story, “Execs booted from telecom delegation puzzles industry,” in the May 2 issue.

I suspect if some of the RCR Wireless News editorial staff was “aiding and abetting” a competing journal, their bosses at RCR would boot them, and no one left at RCR would be puzzled.

I will assume that those who serve on the telecom delegation are asked to serve at the pleasure of the President.

With that in mind, I have no problem with our President asking them to sit down when their actions no longer please him.

A component of great leadership is loyalty … loyalty expected by the leader, and given by the leader. Bush does that on a consistent basis. And that very attribute ticks off all those who would like to mold a world full of compromise and relativism.

Great leaders always know two things: what they stand for, and what they won’t stand for. I, for one, think it’s nice to have the absolute antithesis of Bill Clinton in the White House.
