CEO Pans Pat

A local CEO was shocked by Governor McCrory’s comments in Rob Christensen’s Sunday N&O story (“During session and beyond, McCrory has rough start”).
Here’s the message he left on voice mail:
 
“I can’t tell you a CEO in any organization who could get away with saying I have no agenda, I have no legacy, my job is boring.  Is there a board in the country that would accept a CEO who doesn’t have a desire to move whatever organization they’re running in big way? Or allow them to get away with saying their job is boring, which by the way I think is insulting to the people who elected him?”
 
He rated the Governor this way: “midlevel McCrory.”
 
Christensen wrote, “McCrory said he is not seeking some big legacy project of the type that past governors have promoted.”
 
He added this about McCrory’s mood: “The Republicans are winning every political battle, but McCrory sometimes sounds as if he is in a political bunker. He talks darkly about efforts to ‘eviscerate’ him.”
 
McCrory said, “Other governors have called themselves the education governor or the jobs governor.” But not Pat. On education, “His administration is working on an education program.”
 
Working on an education program? He spent four years running for Governor. Did he ever think about what he would do if he got there?
