What Leadership II

In sports, there are people who are known as team leaders. These are the players which whom the other players look to in the tough moments during whatever games which they are playing.

The same cam be said in other parts of life. In business there are the CEO and COO who make the decision on which way the the business will go in the short term and long term.

Our politicians are are supposed to exhibit qualities of leadership but, as of now, there are very few who are exibiting those said qualities.

We have an alleged-president who, it has been been proven, has been leading from behind and a congress who has abdicated its constitutional ability of leadership to the aforementioned alleged-president.

This current alleged-president allows the events of the day to form his ideas and he is a very reactionary type of person. He allows things to happen and then reacts to them.

Even with his so-called signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), he let the democrats in congress do the heavy lifting of leading on the bill.

A good leader is supposed to take responsibility for the bad things that happen during his or her administration. This man does not do this.

What do we think we would get when we elected a community organizer who, previously to his time in in the office of the Presidency, had no discernible job. Oh sure, he claims to be a constitutional law professor. The man never spent any of his “precious” time in a court room. It is important that he has not been in a court room because, at some point, in general, a lawyer will be the lead lawyer on a case and he or she will prove how skillful they can be. Lawyers who are real go getters will get promoted in the law firms they are in and can be elected to office or selected to sit on the bench as a judge.

We have had some pretty great leaders in the history of America. Without Washington, we would be a British colony. Without Lincoln, there would still be slavery, and we would have a split nation. Without Martin Luther King there would be rampant discrimination against minorities.

Those are just a few examples of great leaders in American history. They are also examples of the type of leadership we are sorely lacking.

My hope is that the next two election cycles will yield some people who will step up as the next generation of leaders that will have the ability to draw us back from the edge and get the get the country healthy.

The problem comes when we look at the parties. The problem is that whomever the democrats run will continue the “business as usual attitutde that pervades in DC and some of the people who will run on the republican side will take us to the same place that democrats will take us but just slower.

I think that what needs to happen is that the republicans can not afford to have Jeb Bush win the nomination, he is too liberal. There are a lot of people who think like I do and will not vote for a northeastern liberal republican. This is why Chris Christie and Mitt Romney should not be considered for the nomination.

If you look at who is left for the republicans?

There is Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Mia Love, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and as much as I do not like it Lindsay Graham-nesty.

As for the democrats, look for someone like Cory Booker or Deval Patrick. Clinton and Warren are too old and have worries about their health which will come up.
