Looking for a real leader?

The Democratic Party is fresh out at the top. Sure Barack Obama is fresh and new and presents all kinds of images of real leadership but the Clinton folks were right when they said, "He's untested." So who represents the Democratic Party, Nancy Pelosi? Harry Reid? Howard Dean!?!

This is absolutely unacceptable. It's like both Parties have been taken over by the drooling, knuckle dragging, wactivists found in the extreme wings of their party. What the hell is going wrong in this country that we are so starved for leader that John "my friends" McCain't is actually a viable candidate for President of the United States.

Take a look around...the world is leaving us behind. While we search for an adequate leader China and India are growing their way into the future by investing in infrastructure like roads, higher education, and technology. China's technological capacity has doubled that of the United States and is leading them to virtual government built to serve a population that is rapidly growing and becoming more educated.

We don't condone the type of politics China practices as it continues an endless attack on our environment and its residents' civil rights. But, their government is led by individuals with a vision for a better future, one where China is the world's recognized dominating power, not the United States. Unbelievable? Take a look at the U.S. dollars' stature in the world's economy. Now look at China's dollar. Oops. Not quite as strong as we used to be.

While our economy is in the crapper at the moment and as we hemorrhage jobs and the middle class is evicted from their foreclosed homes the rest of the world is taking advantage...taking advantage of this world power's lack of leadership.
