Time For The President To Be The President
I’m reading everyone’s opinions regarding the Massachusetts election. Of all comments, what stands out most is a report prior to the election that President Obama was listless in his defense of candidate Coakley. Coupled with what I’ve read about the candidate, I thought “who could blame him?” But of course, the democratic party could blame him. He ran for president but he also inherited “head of the party.” The roles are in conflict, and there’s no way to enact his agenda while trying to also be the head of his party.
The Baha’i Writings state definitively that the political systems of the world are failing. Today I smell the stench of the failure of our political system as our government fails almost entirely to meet the needs of its people and the existential challenges of the nation. So many good ideas that can’t happen because people have personal, political interest to force good ideas to fail.
