Comments on: Comment on Blogosphere Morning http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6945.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

I don't think he ever thought Jan 21 would ever come. If you were elected President in November and expected to take the oath of office in January, would you spend December building up and meeting with your transition team, or would you have a 2-week vacation in Hawaii?

The guy who gets promoted from Sales VP to CEO, for example, will be tempted to spend too much time "helping" on big deals and not enough on other aspects of his job. Similarly, the guy who goes from Engineering VP to CEO is likely to spend too much time on product issues and not enough time on other things. It takes a certain level of self-awareness to avoid this trap...I think Obama may be falling into it by focusing too much on campaigning and not enough on problem-solving.
