Read this one in a post once:My boss most resembles Barney. Depending on his mood, it would be Barney Fife, Barney Miller, or Barney the Dinosaur.

[quote][b]TravisDBA (9/24/2012)[/b][hr]It's all Bush's fault.:-D[/quote]Your opinion. Personally, you put the fault on all the politicians, regardless of political party or position. They afre more interested in their own interests and power than doing what is needed, even if it is unpopular.None are truely held accountable for their actions.

[quote][b]Lynn Pettis (9/21/2012)[/b]My hope for change is that politians would grow up and start working for us and stop making empty promises just get reelected (or elected).[/quote]It's a shame that national decision makers have to get through the political mire before they even start to demonstrate if they're any good at running the country. At the same time, how do you make sure they are accountable without politics? Gotta love the optimism though Lynn :-)

I'm going to break rank and go with a musician. Slash in a word. His style of playing guitar is so precise. When asked recently about what is next, his response was "I want to learn to play the guitar better. To be a better musician."Metaphorically, me too.M

[quote][b]Miles Neale (9/21/2012)[/b][hr]Peter "Pistol Pete" Maravich - Some of you might remember, some may have not ever known of him but he was amazing. He worked to get it right, he pressed for perfection and performance, he achieved amazing goals and had a real love for life and family. After he was injured and left the NBA, he searched for real meaning in life and was not done searching till he found something he could really live and die with. And one thing that he did that still amazes me to this day, is that he played hard, lived a full life, and achieved great things with a heart that never was healthy, all without complaint. I would like to be more like that.[/quote]One of the all-time greats, and died doing what he loved, playing basketball.:-D

I'd say Ron MacLean who is a well known hockey sportscaster in Canada. He does a great job of interpreting the very loud Don Cherry for the viewers as well as keeping him on track. I think most of us in software can think of times when we've had a very opinionated expert giving us requirements that we have to make useable while calming potentially volatile situations. The closest NFL equivalent would be Pat Summerall to John Madden.

I'd say Junior dos Santos. His English isn't so good, but he's one of the nicest guys in the sport and one of the best. People with his personality are a pleasure to work with. You'll also definitely want him on your side. Nobody in their right mind would dare cross him.

I used to have a boss that was a complete Mitt Romney. At least he wasn't asking to be elected head of the "free" world!!
