Addressing a crisis … McCain v Obama and a local perspective

Senator McCain calls for a sensation of campaign activities and a return to Washington to lead in the discussions on the economic situation.
Senator Obama calls for continuing campaign activities and will help when told his help is needed.

I ask you… who is displaying leadership?

A few points here…..
Barry Obama obviously doesn’t understand what is required in leadership. It takes a presence to drive discussion and solutions. That means be present!

It is frankly apparent that Barry Obama is lacking the experience and understanding of what it takes to get things done. You can’t simply sit around and wait for people to ask for your opinion.
Barry Obama’s response to Senator McCain’s decision to stop campaign activities and return to Washington demonstrates that he has nothing to offer towards getting to the solution. If he did, he’d be returning to Washington as well.

The local perspective on all of this….
The “elected” from the city of Minneapolis all seem to have the same approach to a problem as Senator Obama. A wait until asked for input approach towards fixing and addressing issues isn’t leadership.
He is what I ask of you the reader of this posting… please send me in the comments form provided an example of local Minneapolis leadership. Be specific as to whom and what was done to display leadership on a critical issue.

Hard economic times … Hold on to guns and religion

Or some leader wannabes believe is the mantra of a lot of us, or dare I say the majority of America. I do believe that this comment by Senator Obama, the Messiah as some like to call him, is way out of line and a slap in the face of us who are of a religious belief. In hard times and in good times we true believers of a faith, which ever faith we may believe in, use our believe in a lot of cases to celebrate and hope in a bright future for ourselves and the world around us. Especially in hard times do we turn to the God we believe in, and place our trust that the future will be bright. What is wrong with that? It’s better than turning to a government and believing in that as if it was a religion. I can see where the good Senator can make this mistake, because a lot of the people from his party can get government and religion mixed up. Not saying that the other side doesn’t get it wrong by any means, but the basic concept of our government being founded on a certain set of religious beliefs is vastly different than making a religion of government. The very reason we face the hard economic times today is because we have gotten away from the core principles of our founding in the first place. Over taxation and over regulation with a mama government mentality is what has driven us to the place that we are currently at. Our economic system was never meant to be handled by an over burdensome government. An economic system that has produced the largest and fastest world wide reaching growth in human history, and we have figured out how to screw it up. When we get back to the basics of a free and thoughtful society our economy will return to full strength once again. We must get back to having the government provide only what the people cannot provide for themselves, and then we can get back to enjoying the strong economy that we are meant to have. As far as the guns, that’s a whole other tirade.
