Yes.And More To The Point.......... Only 50% or so voted in the last election,and the Dems. won not by an overwhelming majority.Thus we have the following formula that the world has to contend with............ The " Leader Of The Free World " was elected by approximately 35% of the eligible voters in his country of origin.The eligible voters number somewhere in area of 200 Million.Thus approximately 75 Million people were able to elect the " Leader Of The Free World ". Considering there are approximately four billion people who consider themselves part of that free world,then only about two to three percent of the people in the " Free World " were responsible for placing the man currently at the helm with his finger on the button. No wonder The " Rest Of The World " want more independence from the follow the leader scenario we now must endure. Bottom Line:If America wants to continue as the " Leader ", it surely must act more responsibly in it's selection and ensure the candidates include in their platform their vision and accountability as " Leader Of The Free World ".They as the electorate,must provide undoubting proof that the person they place at the helm is the choice of the mass majority. Thus far the candidates appear to have problems deciding what to do about one single little boy.This is anything but a sign of confidence that the future leader has what it takes to actually lead..and not merely what it takes to get elected on domestic platforms.The world does not want " wishy - washy " ,it wants and needs LEADERSHIP. If America can not provide it...Others will.Period.
