We think Carly Fiorina would
make a nice counter to the "WOMAN" candidate vote, which seems to be
the allure to the Liberal Community.
But, in this case,
1) Hillary, who has NO accomplishment as either a senator or the
Secretary of State [ask her what she accomplished and she'll talk around it]. Her record, however is one of primarily scandal but also, incompetence
(a) Benghazi
(a) Benghazi
[It does make difference]
(b) WhiteWater Scandal
(c) TravelGate
(d) FileGate
(b) WhiteWater Scandal
(c) TravelGate
(d) FileGate
(e) Alleged money laundering through her Haiti
AIDS foundation
(f) Foreign contributions to the AIDS foundation
in exchange for US business deals while she was SecState
(g) Unexplained suicides and murders [50+] of opponents and critics of Bill
(h)
Security Violations as SecState
2) Fiorina, who has both success and failure under her belt as a powerful corporate leader
2) Fiorina, who has both success and failure under her belt as a powerful corporate leader
(a) Fiorina joined AT&T
as a management trainee
and rose to become a senior vice president
overseeing
the company's hardware and systems
division.
(b) She led corporate
operations for the spinoff from
AT&T of Lucent
(c) President of Lucent's
Consumer Products division
(d) President of Lucent's
consumer products business
(e) Chair of Lucent's
consumer communications joint
venture with Philips

(f) Group president for
the global service provider
business at Lucent
(g) CEO: Hewlett-Packard
(h) Forced the merger with
Compaq to create the largest
computer company in the
world -- with substantial
employee growth.
(i) Fiorina was the first
woman to lead a Fortune 20 company
At HP, Fiorina
(a) Shifted the emphasis
from massive employee benefits to pressing
for financial performance
[i.e., no more free
rides]
(b) Replaced profit
sharing with performance bonuses -
only if HP met financial expectations
[i.e., no more free
rides]
(c) Reduction in operating
units from 83 to 4!
[i.e., reducing massive
bureaucracy to a manageable delegation
of responsibility and authority]
The HP Board of Directors
fired her following 9/11 and the economy's decline, causing a stock decline and
reduced computer purchases by consumers. As the economy declined, so did the fortunes of the company -- and she was a convenient scapegoat. Oddly, all the changes that she wrought on the company have paid off in the long run, and HP is one of the most profitable companies in the US -- but recent CEOs have taken the credit.
She has been lauded for
her dynamic leadership, but criticized for her lack of diplomacy in maneuvering
corporate politics.
Would she be good as
POTUS?
Likely not yet; but, as
VP, she could be precisely the right person to reorganize the government!
Perhaps a Trump/Fiorina ticket?
First words after they are sworn in to the 0bama government leadership?
