It Still Comes Down to Leadership and We Have None!

I don't care if you are Democrat, Republican, Socialist, Libertarian or any other political affiliation, it does now and always has been about leadership. In America I do not see any person or party that I can sit back and say, "Yes that person is a leader." The President attempts and  in some incidences, he leads, but then he slips back and lets someone else set the agenda and  will talk about it then. That is not leadership, that is following. The President of the United States, has to start the conversation, right or wrong, and have the conviction to direct it to the best solution for the country. The leaders in Congress, such as John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, and Harry Reid, the Majority leader in the Senate, need to lead for the country and set aside the interests of their respective parties. Every member of Congress needs to stop the demagoguery, the use of fear to gain political advantage, and put the interest of the country before their parties. Collectively, the entire government, needs to lead and place the country ahead of the interests of greedy, elite and corporations. At this time our politicians are led around by the corporate and wealthy needs and interests, while they ignore the needs of the average American. I want them to stand up for me and you not some billionaire, that has the money to buy their support. Looking back in history will provide some answers to problems we face and the direction we need to go. I am, like most Americans, looking for someone to lead and when that person steps forward I will be content to follow.
