Leadership In The White House


In a couple of days a new president will be elected for our country or they will re-hire the present holder of the position. The question for me is, will the United States of America citizens hire a leader or just an office holder?




In business I have met plenty of people who hold positions of influence that do not influence because of a lack of leadership ability. They function as office holders who's primary focus is to insure that nothing goes wrong in an effort to protect their jobs and move into retirement while protecting their pay check and status. It's called survival. The best way to make sure nothing goes wrong is to do nothing.




The current Presidential office holder in the White House is such a person. He has done virtually nothing to move our country forward in a positive way.




> He has not delivered on anything he has promised other than his ideological agenda of wealth distribution and the European model of bigger and bigger government.




> He has handed over "governing" to a congress full of ideologues which has accomplished only grid lock to a point that nothing gets done beyond divisiveness , finger pointing, name calling.




> He prefer's to allow the U.N. to lead on global events. "Leading from behind" is the White House response to crisis over seas.




> He has allowed the key issues of importance to be controlled by "czar's" and government agencies e.g. EPA, NLRB, DHS etc.




> He refuses to recognize (or accept) the unique position of American exceptionalism and the burden, hope and responsibility it affords the world.




> The present office holders of the White House have proven to be (in my opinion) pretty "low class" in word's and attitudes i.e. foul mouthed and disrespectful. To see how I feel about these issue, see my August 25th blog post.




I AM a person of Faith and Values! And, I will vote on value issues in addition to economic and World Leadership concerns. See 5 reasons at..

Will Mitt Romney be a Leader or just hold the position? Honestly? I don't know, but I DO know what've got now in the Presidential position is not working and as a business guy I don't keep investing in things that don't work. I'm not willing to cast my vote for the same proven failure of the past four years. Our great country is crying for leadership.


Post script: After writing this article I boarded another plane and read an interesting column in the "Investor's Business Daily".
