Remember the 70s, when we were amused by the “Peter principle”, according to which ambitious people rise to their ultimate level of incompetence? In history, every misguided leadership has always responded to opposition by digging deeper. It would be comical if it was not so dangerous and so costly.
Is there any president ever before in our history who has managed to trigger a wave of protest before the end of his administration’s first 100 days? It’s going to take a lot of hard work to return to America’s roots as guiding principles.
We sometimes wonder whether the tea party movement is going to find enough good leaders? So far, Madison, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and others of their time have served brilliantly in some sort of interim capacity since last February. We will continue to refer to them, and get practical, that’s the American way.
We will figure out what’s next, and we will eventually get our country back on its proper footing. Sometimes I wonder if the Internet is just the natural extension of the trails used by our galloping Paul Revere?
Beware! The socialists are coming! At age 62, I have never participated in any movement of any political consequence. Mr. Obama, thanks for making me feel young and motivated again.
