Obama - State of Our Union - "His rhetoric makes me tired. Same old - same old ..."


A leader does not have to be likeable. He has to be knowledgeable.
A leader does not have to be loveable. He has to possess wisdom.
A leader does not have to be arrogant. He must have humility.
For in the U.S.A. - a leader is elected by the People - for the People.
A leader is the mouthpiece of the people.
He does not put words in the people's mouth. He is the voice of the people.
A leader cannot be a leader if he has no followers.
A leader cannot be a leader if he has no respect.

Hussein Obama does not share his thoughts.
He gives his opinions.

Oddly - he seems to talk down to people.
Look down upon his subjects.

There is an undeniable arrogance. It is not innate self-assurance - it is arrogance.
It appears that he is looking - not at you - but through you.
Believe as I do - or be damned.

And if you speak out or call him out for his inconsistencies - he gets mad at you.
He talks down to you. He seems to pout. He cares too much if people like him.

Yet - and oddly - he does what he wants to do anyway.

If you say the building is burning. He insists it is not - and he walks in anyway.
If you say you are spending to much money - the wallet it empty - he still finds more to spend.

You learn from doing.
You learn from listening.
You combine the two.
You utilize history.
If you are wise - you can alter the future by not letting history repeat itself.
Learn from the mistakes of your past - otherwise, you will continue to make the same mistakes in your future.

To lead, a President must listen.

When your would-be followers are screaming, "You are heading toward a cliff."
And yet, you glibly and arrogantly walk on ...
when you hurl over the cliff - you have no one but yourself to blame for the fall.
