I don't think Philadelphia's challenge is in coming up with great ideas or having great founders. I think the real challenge is keeping them here.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The challenge is always before us. Whenever we lose sight of the principles that mattered to our founders we run into trouble.
We can only solve our biggest problems if we come together and embrace the freedoms that our Founding Fathers established right here in Philadelphia, which permitted our ancestors to create the great American exceptionalism that all of us now enjoy.
I think we need to start with Philadelphia and make sure that we actually get some election reform in Philadelphia. Actually, a recent election was thrown out by a federal judge because of corruption with the voting process in Philadelphia.
I love the dignity in the name Philadelphia, but at heart, we're Philly.
I see many founders waste too much time trying to work their networks and/or ultimately settle for mediocre but available candidates. You will definitely have to interview hard for cultural fit, but the best talent isn't cheap.
As I understand the American Founders, the most brilliant and daring idea they had was that it's possible to create a free society that could stay free forever.
Philadelphians are a gritty, tough people who will help you when you're down.
The challenge is sort of capturing the issues that Oregonians feel strongly about and moving forward on those.
But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you've got to compromise. You've got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus and move the country forward.
Philadelphia merely seems dull because it's next to exciting Camden, New Jersey.
