In March of 2006, during the middle of the 2nd Term of the Bush (43) Administration, The U.S. House, The U.S. Congress and The U.S. President were in debates about the need to raise the Debt Ceiling. President George W. Bush was wanting the increase, but there was opposition from the other side. Then Senator Barrack Hussein Obama made the following statement and I quote:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills.. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” -- Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
I personally agree with this statement by Senator Obama!
He specifies clearly in his above statement what criteria HE uses in order to determine that a President's leadership has FAILED. And as I've already stated, I agree with him.
When America has to Raise her Debt Limit as she has been doing and has just done so again... There's LEADERSHIP FAILURE!
When the U.S. Government cannot pay her own bills with her own Funding... There's LEADERSHIP FAILURE!
When the United States of America is dependent upon the Financial Assistance from Foreign Governments to finance her own Government's RECKLESS FISCAL POLICIES... There's LEADERSHIP FAILURE!
When the Government increases America's debt, thereby weakening us both domestically and internationally... There's LEADERSHIP FAILURE!
When the Elected Leaders in Washington forget that 'The Buck Stops Here' and instead shift the burden of THEIR Bad Choices onto the backs of our children and grandchildren... There's LEADERSHIP FAILURE!
America certainly does have a Debt Problem and Americans do Deserve Better!
Mr. Obama, thank you for giving us a clear definition of what it means to have LEADERSHIP FAILURE. I must agree, there were definitely some areas in the previous administration where there was clearly LEADERSHIP FAILURE and the area of our Fiscal well-being was certainly one of them. However, based upon your own statement and definition of LEADERSHIP FAILURE, YOU, SIR, have by far attained the status of the WORST LEADERSHIP FAILURE in our Nation's History! You have created more debt than any previous President from George Washington to George W. Bush... You have devalued the American Dollar further than anyone else before you... You have done nothing but shift blame continually for our nation's woes and you still fail to take on the responsibility of your office... You now have our nation on the brink of losing our AAA Credit Status in the world, which will not only further devastate our national economy, but it will have a global effect...
Therefore, utilizing your own words to judge your Leadership as the President of the United States of America and based upon your record as President, you have clearly FAILED to utilize proper LEADERSHIP thus far. And as previously stated, I must say that I agree with your Judgement call on this one.
In 2011 America, it's not only our Fiscal Integrity that is rapidly being stripped away, but there is also tragically for all of us a massive deficit of Personal and Professional Integrity among our elected Leaders.
Pray for America! Pray for our Leaders to walk in the Will of God! Pray for your families and draw near unto God! No matter how much things change in this Country, remember God is still God... He's still in control... He's still faithful... And He'll still take care of His own...
God blessed America! Now, it's time for America to bless God!
