Yet three of these profound and demonstrated underachievers are running for President of the United States. Not one has the ability to accomplish anything more than they have demonstrated in the past.

 

Our country is in crisis. Our jobs are being shipped abroad, our borders leak like sieves, we have an endless war raging, inflation on food and fuel is crippling our families, Americans are losing their homes in record numbers, the world has food shortages and our leaders spend their time arguing like children. When is enough, enough?

 

When I see the boat sinking, I want to see everyone bailing, not out running a senseless multi billion dollar campaign of lies. If these candidates are leaders and have the ability to bring us together and influence positive change; then why the hell don’t they go do it?

 

All three presidential front runners are current members of Congress. Rather than rant and rave and place blame , go back to your job and do something! Solve our problems, bring the Congress together, take some action and show us your stuff. That, should be the path to the White House.

 

But then, they have shown us their stuff and I’m sick and tired of it.

 

Why doesn’t one of these presidential candidates go back to Washington and say, “Hey, we don’t have time to spend talking about explosive dust and coral reefs, we don’t have time to chastise the banks or talk about steroids in baseball, we all need to focus on the fact that America is in severe crisis.”

 

But see, if any one of them did so, that person would have to have an acceptable solution; and they don’t. Yet, we are willing to elect one these people to the highest post in the land.

 

I see no possibility of swift and positive change with the current cast of characters. I wrote a column some time back where I demonstrated that the word “radical action” is not always a bad choice. When a “radical correction” of an aircrafts course results in reaching an airport prior to running out of fuel; it is an excellent choice.
