Obama Implants His Political Vision for America — But Will It Take?
The elevation of a president philosophical sights might well be a good topic of study for tomorrow’s historians, but in the present, what a president wishes or yearns for is not as relevant as what he does (or fails to do) regarding the issues of his time.
We need a president for the defense and the promotion of our collective interest! This is not a philosophical question, it’s a practical matter. In order to serve, a president should have a fine grasp of the opportunities and the challenges of his time, for the nation, not for the vindication of a personal philosophical vision.
Each of us is entitled to a personal philosophical vision, but only one of us has custody of the national interests. What we need is a leader, not a preener, a man capable of consistent and well targeted advocacy, not some someone preaching just for the sake of harvesting the “Amens”.
The president’s philosophy is a red herring, just as relevant as the green jobs or any other colorful empty phrase.
Watch what he does and whose interests he serves, not what he says. Remember, nobody ever before raised more than a half-billion of campaign money. Why did we allow a candidate to be pulled by so many strings? Forget about philosophy for the moment. We can go back to it once we have restored liberty and prosperity.
