American Politics, Leaders, & Education

America needs a strong leader now more than ever. It is not up to the President to provide an “economic stimulus package’ to put more money in Americans’ wallets. As the world’s stock markets slide on news of our nation’s problems, it goes to show the global economic strength America has. Yet, these markets, under foreign leaders who resist American diplomacy, hide terrorists, and refuse to get their own nations in order, depend on America for their exports and their wealth. Americans have to be realistic. The good times cannot roll on forever. Market corrections will happen. That is when we must question ourselves, not our political leaders, on why we have not adequately educated American children to develop alternative fuel, vehicles, transportation systems, to be able to evolve technology to create new jobs, workplaces, and a more productive America, as they have historically done.

An American president cannot do anything alone. Congress, the public, and society as a whole must support their leaders. The leaders must be respected by other national leaders, or America’s safety is jeopardized. Who amongst the candidates, on either side, will be able to respectfully fill this role and set an example for our children? Who carries themselves with dignity, strength of character and purpose? Things will NOT change in Washington until we, as Americans, change our neighborhoods, our attitudes, and our children’s education. We must improve ourselves, and educate the next generation of Americans, from whom our leaders will

come.
