Leadership Vacuum

Did you see Anderson Cooper last evening on CNN? (7/18/2008) He had insightful articles about both McClone and Obamma. They just strengthened my contention that this year we undoubtedly have the worst choices for President that we have had in at least the past 50 years, and confirms my resolve to vote for neither.

They have no apparent leadership qualities or anything that distinguishes one from the other, and haven't shown that they have any ambition other than wanting the office.

This office is not a do it yourself as you go along. Do they have any specific ideas what they will do? They both have lists of the standard generalized mouthings politicians are wont to do, What are they going to do their first full day in office? It wouldn't surprise me if they (either one) took a "vacation' to recover from the rigors of the campaign.

Neither has given any indication they can fill the leadership vacuum we have experienced the past seven and one half years. Will theirs be a leadership of folding under pressure and knee jerk reaction to the crisis of another September 4, 2001?

That day brought forth unneeded changes that this country doesn't want or need, and it will take many years to recover and return to some form of normalcy. We are not the same people that lived before 2001, but a quivering huddled mass of frightened beings who are wandering around without the benefit lf any leadership and no direction to our lives.

Consider your vote very carefully, and you're likely to come to the conclusion that there is no one running for the office of President of the United States that is qualified or capable of providing the kind of leadership that has been missing in recent years.

With inflation raging, and the specter of depression looming ever larger, it's imperative, if we are to survive as a nation, that we find the kind of leadership we need. The clock keeps running.
