Election Night

Well, our country looks like it will be lead by Barack Obama for four more years. Is this the leadership you wanted? Leadership isn’t about changing the greatest country to a destitute and socialist society. It looks like that is what America wants. They want to be spoon fed everything that the government can give them without lifting a finger to do work.

America is changing because the leadership is becoming too controlling. Leadership is listening to people and making decisions based on what you hear. America has spoken and it looks like America wants four more years of a poor economy, joblessness, high prices and lower incomes. Now that is what America is all about.

We need to rise up as leaders, leaders in our homes, jobs and communities. We can’t let the government control our lives but we must control and lead our own life. Leading is about showing direction and strength even in tough times. It is about overcoming problems and finding solutions to those problems. It is like all those people on the east coast devastated by hurricane Sandy, FEMA and the government are not going to bail them out they need to rise up and band together as leaders and overcome the problem. I am not being callous but all of us encounter problems and often times during those problems people might not be there to bail us out.

We need leaders in Washington who aren’t looking for every opportunity to create a law to control us but are looking for ways to help us create our own opportunities. Far too often Washington leaders want to control us but really they work for us, we pay their salary. They should listen to us and let us be successful because of our own works and not that of others.

Are you a leader or a blind follower?
