I have started to doubt President Barack Obama's skills as a leader.
That was hard to write and even harder to admit to myself, but it remains the truth as of right now. Only time will tell if these feelings of disappointment will subside. The reasons for my doubts are complex but valid.
Concerning the legislation that he wants Congress to pass, health care and climate change in particular-Just setting forward a list of preferences to Congress then telling them to work it out for themselves is like babysitting a bunch of toddlers, telling them I would like you to stay away from electrical appliances that might kill you as well as poisonous substances lying all around the room, then leaving them to fend for themselves. Translation-That's stupid and dangerous.Congress like children need firm guidance and should never be left alone to play by themselves as bad things tend to happen when adult supervision is lacking. As President, Barack Obama is the adult supervision, and simply setting forth guidelines and leaving the rest up to Fate is not a good idea.
The climate change bill has been watered down so much that it no longer makes sense to enact it. I simply hope that if and when that bill passes Congress, our dear President will use the full force of his veto pen. Our planet is getting sicker every day and all he can do is say "A bill would be nice huh?" (note: this is not an actual quote) C'mon Mr. President, you know as well as I do that in order for the rest of the world to respect the US it would help a lot if the leader of said country would step up to the plate once in a while and look powerful. Leaving something as important as this bill exposed to the horrors of Congress without your full supervision is not the greatest plan and is quite...well, i gotta say it...stupid.
The health care bill is a joke at this point and I would need the whole day to express all of my concerns about that particular bill. I am a teenager now and if a PROPER health care bill isn't put into effect to benefit me in the future...I WILL MOVE TO FRANCE!!!
So Mr.P do you think that you can show me that you are up for this job?
I suggest that you do that quickly as my patience will not last forever.
