Lack of leaders hurts this country

This country’s problems are a direct result of a lack of leadership on the part of this president and the two parties that offer the American people nothing. Look at our current government, run by outdated old politicians that should have been sent into retirement a decade ago. In politics, being old doesn’t make one wiser, it means they become the party leaders and run Congress and this country into the ground.

Unity is a wonderful concept if only we could get the two parties to practice it. Unfortunately, we have two parties led by tired old leadership that control them, and are set in their ways because they can’t recognize change is necessary to bring about new ideas, so the American people are left to suffer.

The outlook for this country is not a bright one as we look at the choices for president we will receive from the two parties. We have an incumbent president who has been AWOL from the job for two years as he looks for campaign donations to keep his job. Then we have two Republicans that talk about each other rather than the issues facing the American people.
