From the new issue of The Door Magazine:

QUESTION: Can you give us a guideline for how much work a president should be given to do?
- Dick

DR. DOBSON: There should be a healthy balance between work and play. Many world leaders of the past had daily chores that made life pretty difficult. Early in the morning and again after work they would draft legislation, meet with world leaders, debate public policy and go to boring summit meetings. Little time was left for fun, and world domination became a pretty drab experience. That was an extreme position, and I certainly don’t favor its return. Contrast that workaday responsibility with liberals today that require nothing of their world leaders. Both extremes, as usual, are harmful to world leadership. Giving him an exposure to responsibility and work, but preserving time for play and fun can help him find the logical middle ground. I know this is a difficult balancing act, which is why I hope my book Parenting Isn’t for Cowards will prove to be a valuable help here.
