What about what's right?

We're bankrupt.  Everyone knows it.  Some people are talking about it and a smaller group is trying to do something about it.  But what about our chief magistrate?  The one we elected to lead us and to guide us through the shoals of crisis?  We are facing an existential crisis borne of generations of lies and self dealing by politicians and voters who so long as their personal circumstances were good, did not look to the common good.  And what is President Obama doing?  After campaigning on fixing it and spending two years making it much much worse, now he ignores it.

His dereliction of duty is far more than politics....it's a fundamental moral failing.  We need a leader.  He put himself forward as that leader.  He is not that leader.  So now the indispensable nation is drifting towards the falls, dragging most of the other ships of state with it.  A few lower level sailors are madly scrambling to jury rig a solution but the Captain - our captain - is sitting in his cabin reading a paperback novel.

The MSM and Academe might love him but history will not judge Barack Obama kindly.
