Biggest problem a leader faces is to understand you can't lie to your people forever. They will find out the truth. It also helps if he is way smarter than over half of them. Second biggest is to understand you didn't hit a triple when you were born on third base. Third biggest is to attempt drug withdrawal aided by nothing but a belief in the Bible. Doesn't deal with the scars on the mind . Makes you act out inappropriately. Like in press conferences. Can leave you with an Oedipus complex. Somewhere also in the mix is that some other leader is also claiming God is his secret weapon; that's a problem. I mean, like in baseball; who does God help? The pitcher crossing himself or the batter crossing himself?
