It is not the economy, it is stewardship. What is it that people want in a leader.
Too many lies to the American people. Too many stories of corruption. Too many reports of anyone disagreeing being fired or professionally ruined. No clear plan in Iraq, and no explanation about what has been accomplished oversees with $300 BILLION and no end in sight. No real efforts to wean the country and world from foreign oil, meaning that we are effectively paying corrupt leaders in other countries to abuse their people and to threaten our way of life. Too much paternalism and claims that the war on terror is a blank check to do whatever:
“The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY. The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans – most of whom aren’t suspected of any crime.”
My guess is the government will (1) claim this is justified in the name of the war on terror, and (2) will investigate who leaked this to the press.
The government is supposed to be working for us. It should not be a secret institute who imprisons anyone who discloses to the public owners what it is the government is actually up to.
