I didn't say he was.
I said we need him to be.
Obama ran on a "uniter" platform of hope and change and he obviously has been discredited , as his words now violate his promises of his first campaign.
He is the most devisive president I've ever heard or seen.
For those who bought his first election's rhetoric -it must be very disappointing to them for having been fooled.If they do not feel their trust has not been violated - then they are not listening to his recent words.
We need a uniter,not by nice sounding and false rhetoric that get discarded upon gaining the power of the office - we need a uniter by leadership and action of deeds.
It appears to me Romney will be the opposing candidate.
He needs to provide a future vision and goal of America that does far better than split our population based on the haves and the have nots.
This devisive tactic is not what the American dream was about and it will not take us into the global and very competitive world with success.
For those who currently do not have wealth, a vision of self improvement and being in the land of opportunity
is what must be appreciated and become a motivational goal.
This" you don't haveit and that's not fair - so we'll take it from those that do" - is the hopelessness of mediocrity.It is the linch pin preachings of Jesse Jackson and the "Reverends of his ilk". It has been horribly trapping to the black community in general.
People like Collin Powell and Representative West from Florida need to be bigger Role models to the black community.Bill Cosby comes to mind as another.Examples of success and supremacy of their race.
Interesting that the first two came from the military with its strict disciplines.In my youth days the military took young people with poor discipline and transformed them into stronger adults.That is not happeniing now in the military - instead we have correctional institutions which breed a form of citizenry that is very vial and contrary to what I believe is constructive.
Just my view on what is needed - not an endorsement of Romney - but it assuredly is a criticism of Obama's nice hopeful rhetoric which has morphed into an embarrassing and destructive pitch of toxicly devisive themes.
In my view Mr Obama's term will go in the history books as a dark era of dreamlessness and apologetic mediocrity of America's past.His dreams are that of accepting a decline and with out hope or the expectartion of America being a societal bright spot, an experiment in mankind that will advance all on the globe.That's what leadership requires in my view.
Certainly not intended to be your vision or any one elses.It is just the guiding viewpoints that will form my presidential vote and views of what I want/must see in the next president.
One thing for sure - Obama's lack of credibility and turn from the original pitch will not get my vote.
I require accountancy in a president.
I may disagree with his/her perspective,but I need to know where he/she is and to be solid enough to stand on principle and belief in the adversity of the situation.That requires strength and character - the likes of which I've seen precious little in the fiber of our current leader.
It's simply an embarrassing lack of character for our country.
Simply said I hope that our next President stands for strength and character even in the face of adversity much more than he does for rewarding those who politically supported the current term.
