We Americans have the patience of a butterfly! If you notice a butterfly rarely stays still and is always on the move! It takes strong leadership to keep American's intact and informed and filled with hope.
The latest news from all sectors is we have been in a recovery! Years from now when all data is collected we will know when the recent recession or as I called depression bottomed out. However not o America's! I have been through 3 of these maybe 4 and nothing seems to be ever learned from them to avoid them from starting to begin with. They all have a beginning middle and end and it seems to always catch everyone off guard! This is the part of recessions that bother me.
Leaders are in charge to look ahead and plan. Not everyone is born to lead! Actually there are very few people who we can call great leaders. They are called to the front lines when things are going wrong. Not because the former leader was not doing his/her best, they were just not leaders.
A leader can't be too focused on what Americans are thinking today. They have to do what’s best for tomorrow, next year etc. If a leader has a jerk reaction to our immediate needs he/she fails from the start. A great leader plans, informs and executes.
For instance I have not heard Obama say anything about the stock market. It was around 6500 when he took office and is around 11400 today. Usually that is the start of a recovery. Yes it's not helping every American now but it is setting the state for things to come.
For being an excellent communicator Obama has fallen short in communicating to Americans who have very little patience and expect things done overnight. He may last one term due to one basic fault "lack of communication" to the American people. It's been the downfall of many great leaders!
