As a man who has more injuries and problems than most I think it is important in America to still be as positive as possible, about everything. Sometimes though I wonder if reality doesn’t match what my mind wants for this country. We do have our problems and our share of pure bullshit too. One thing Americans can do and will always do is bullshit, and carry-on. Thats what makes a comedy show out of many American things in this world. Sadly, the comedy and laughter turns to fears and tears when I stop and think about a country with a History as rich as ours, slowly falling in free fall in economic and financial and political status. To what depths will we fall and hopefully not in my lifetime, please.
We have fallen from leadership roles before due to political problems, now we fall from leadership positions due to economic problems, financial problems and attitudes. Sadly America may have seen it’s best days in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The Leaders who led America to greatness, and it’s high staked position in the World began to disappear during those times.
We had some of the best leaders as Presidents during and slightly before those years and that is why we were so well off. Stop and think of the run of Presidents we had back then and what the price of things were and how we lived then. It’s amazing, America still functions at all with what is trying to lead us today.
Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy,Nixon, Carter, Regan each in their own way brought different ways to lead, different paths to take to keep this country great and on top. Their fierce attitudes, loyalties and protection of American rights, America’s way of maintaining economically and financially made us the leader in the world. They made decisions not based on what the opposing party thought, or didn’t think, nor did they put up with political infighting and bickering in Congress during their eras and times. They used the Presidential Office and their position to further America and the World. We need a new generation of leaders of such scope, such vision and such leadership skills to turn us around and make us rise once more.
When we got by William Jefferson Clinton’s Presidential terms in office, we were in the black financially by billions of dollars. Clinton was a man who had vision, had the sense and balls to make things happen also. I know all about his scandals also, but in the end when we look back at Clinton his terms we will paint him in history as one of the greats. So, where do we look today, in 2011 and in 2012’s Presidential Race and Elections for our new leader?
President Obama was dealt a raw, hard deal when he became President, he took over after Bush totally wrecked our standing in the world economically and financially as well as politically. President Bush slammed us into the backwoods of nations and ruined what was once great. Why did people allow it when they voted I have no idea. President Obama at least is trying in many ways to correct the situation.
When our choices as citizens of America come down to reelecting President Obama or electing the current batch of Republicans who oppose him, well, that list is a joke to me. Romney has his problems and every one knows it even his own party and backers. Cain is a man with too many problems to be elected at all, sexual harassments and improper advances on women, come on, we did this one with Clinton and survived do we need it again? Governor Perry of Texas can’t speak straight or look Presidential if you pinned the word President to his own forehead and he is a joke to most. The rest of this list of candidates is a joke to me. Why oh why is this so today? It makes one wish for and think of what was and what could be if we had the older leaders back today.
When I think back in history for America, and our list of Presidents who were great Leaders in times of peace and war and who did things this country needed and helped us as a people, I realize what makes America great, is our way of having the Freedom to choose who leads us all.
Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln,Truman, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Carter,Regan,Clinton all led by leading not following, by paving a way and making Congress understand it was the best way. Thats what we need in our next President and Leader, is one with the guts, and balls to stand up and tell Congress stop screwing the America people and lets work together now. The men I have named as Presidents in American history led by having guts, and courage, bravery and moxey. Not being wimpy and crying.
As we have gone by November 11, 2011 and into the newest election cycle to deal with who shall be in the White House once more, stop and think of who your electing and why and stop and think don’t we need a decisive, tough-minded, open-minded individual who can stand tall, and lead instead of stumble, fumble and be a walking joke in the World? If our choices are Reelect President Barrack Obama to four more years or pick one of these Republican Candidates I call jokes, well my choice is easy than, Reelect Obama. He at least is pulling us out of wars, he created a Health Care Bill and made it law, he at least stands proud and leads instead of cringing and crying. Let him lead four more years, he may lead us back to the promise land we once were! The Republican side well they can’t stop going opssssssssssssss!
