My son and I had a spirited conversation today and he asked that exact question.
“The Middle East is on fire. Government employees here in America are refusing to work. American citizens are assumed criminals in our own airports. Gasoline and food are about to be unaffordable. Mexico’s border is slowly moving northward and the lawlessness it brings is terrifying. And where is my President? What does HE think about all this? Does anybody know?”
My son is frustrated. REALLY frustrated. President Obama is pretty much MIA when it comes to matters that are important to my family and I. Of course we were prepared for that but we always thought that after spending some time on the job, Obama would realize that he is supposed to be President to ALL Americans. Not just Union workers, environmentalists, and the gay communinity. And certainly not just the Muslims. But ALL of us.
My son and I concluded that America is on auto-pilot for the next two years and we certainly hope there’s enough fuel to get us to the next election. We just can’t decide if we should wear our seatbelts. I mean, what if we need to jump?
