It is astonishing that the leader of the free world, manifests a personal value system that allows him to circumvent the letter and spirit of the laws enacted by Congress.
It is tragic that such a leader refuses to acknowledge those mistakes that have led to serious consequences in terms of injury, deaths, devastation, principles, and financial stability effecting not only this country, but other nations. The fact that the leader of the free world and cohort, refuses to go before the entire nation of people represented (and additionally, the global community), in an act of contrition, once confronted with facts that decisions he has made are in error, gives pause. What manner of person is it that causes so much ill will? Who creates such havoc yet, represents this great nation. Why is there not an outright revolt against such authority? The leadership of a nation represents the will of the people. Do we, as Americans, really want our value system to be interpreted by other societies as a society based on malevolence, power used for aggression, and lack of truth or fairness. I don’t think so.
We must find our voice and speak against this administration’s policies. We must remind our leaders, in the White House and in Congress that their duty is to represent and speak for the people. The will of the people. I encourage eveyone to shun news reporters, including their papers and programs who refuse to be objective and present both sides, but base their articles soley and accordingly to the bottom line of the publication -where the money comes from. Let’s oust representatives who do not speak truth, and who misunderstand what true principle represents.

How much longer are we going to allow/permit this administration to go on? It’s time to say enough and remove them from office and with them any lingering odor of their existence.
