This was in a guy's blog who is currently over in Baghdad: Lord, in 2008, please send us a leader.
Send us someone we can truly place our trust and confidence in. Send us someone who at some point in their life actually earned a day's pay for an honest day of hard manual labor. Send us someone who knows what it's like to just scrape by and wonder how they'll make it to the next paycheck. Send us someone who volunteered to go to war at his country's behest, and didn't use privilege or status to avoid serving in harm's way, or at all. Send us someone who seeks wise counsel, and is neither ignorant, arrogant, or immature. Send us someone who treats his office as a sacred trust and not just an opportunity to settle old scores or marginalize the opposition. Send us someone who will not surround himself with greedy, unscrupulous sycophants. Send us someone who doesn't lie too well, and when we catch him in a lie, has the balls to admit it. Send us someone who understands that the United States is part of a global community and not the schoolyard bully. Send us someone with the maturity, the intelligence, and the guts to make his own well-informed decisions. Send us someone who puts the interests of this nation above the interests of his party. Send us someone who feels it is beneath his dignity and a betrayal of public trust to pander to any special interest group, no matter how much money they spent to get him elected. Send us a statesman with the vision to have good long-term ideas and the courage to back them up with legitimate action. Send us someone who respects the lives of our defenders and does not needlessly squander them in ill-conceived folly. Send us someone the whole world can look up to, instead of muttering, "My God, they're the most powerful country on earth and this is the best they can do??" Send us a leader. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
