Specter of a Presidency
With 18 months left on
America’s prison sentence its warden will retire having undermined every
institution, tradition and industry that made this country great. Obama is a
specter of a president. His ghostly apparition is rarely seen except visiting
with the elite, the immoral and the fantastically wealthy. His demagoguery raised
him to the Oval Office yet was not infective enough to keep his supporters on a
string for the balance of his second term. Obama is being mocked by an array of
people who have awoken to the fact that a ghost inhabits the White House. World
leaders recognized America’s failing leadership early in Obama’s first term.
From an apology tour to handing the keys to our prison over to terrorists our
presidential specter is always absent when the going gets tough. If America had
the ability to recall this inept person he would be drinking a Mai Tai on a beach
facing west rapidly.
A dozen potential
candidates for the Republican presidential nomination are already in the
declared column. On the other side Hillary Clinton continues a strong run for
the Democrat dais though she has a few competitors recently new to the run.
America has lost something special during Obama’s reign in office, its
integrity. These masters of words all promise to bring America back into the
orbit which the Founders placed this nation. Most come from backgrounds that
provide little substance for the task at hand. A few have the political vigor
to overcome the most difficult obstacles. Today’s announcement that Donald
Trump wants to sidestep his empire to move into the Oval Office has sent
ripples across the political spectrum. Who amongst this variegated group will
cross the finish line is uncertain. What is certain to this observer is most of
these candidates look like marshmallows waiting to be roasted. To repair the
damage caused by Obama’s ineptitude and overreach will take someone with
insight, affability and the cojones to act even in the face resistance. Several
candidates are up to this challenge. Media circles continue to push the weakest
candidates with the most popular names. When they fade the few left standing
will be positioned as the best of the best to repair what the worse of the
worse has done to America.
