I was watching Jay Leno when the President appeared on the show and it created some thoughts about our Presidency. Here is a President who has failed to revive the economy, spent more time on vacations than any of his predecessors, has been evasive when confronted with questions about even the simplest failures of his administration, and speaks in platitudes. Campaigning seems to be his only success along with a bill that has 2 out of 3 citizens in the U.S. outraged. He crisscrosses the country using his "bully pulpit"for fund raising and generating huge bills as he flies continually meeting with only those who naively view him as something of a mesiah.
I now know we have a form of monarchy developing comparable to the queen in England. Each of these monarchs show up, they say nice things, take credit for successes, give motivational speeches, but do nothing to affect a changes. The Presidency has been the position of leadership with men who were held accountable for our economy, our nation's safety, and accepted that the "buck stopped" at the President's desk. We now hear from his administration that he "leads from behind", and we now understand what this means. Our economy he says is recovering, but it is the most anemic recovery in history, with unemployment at historic levels, and a black population, if they really look at their status, must realize that their poverty has increased by over one million people, and their black children's job outlook has never been worse.
Jay Leno, the Hollywood wealthy, and a legion of "low information voters" continue to look the other way as we watch significant concerns neglected. -- Enough
