What should we look for in our politicians.

Well this is a good question.
I wish people would have asked this before voting in the last election.

The things we need to look for are things like….
Values and morality, Honesty, Integrity, Character, Capability, Knowledge/Understanding of the issues, and he/she ought to have a good workable plan for solving the issues and addressing the problems.

And of course Experience is a plus.

Unfortunately the candidate/s we had and ultimately voted for lacked many of these points.

I will grant you neither candidate had a good plan for addressing the issues. Indeed neither seemed to have a grasp of the issues let alone a plan.

But we ended up with the candidate who also had no real character. We voted for the glib charismatic. This worries me. What’s worse it seems that many people realized on some level what he was about and chose to vote for him purely because he was a black man.

Now THAT is racism! To vote for someone JUST because of his skin color is wrong.

Based on my list of qualities I have a short list of people who I think would be reasonable candidates for leadership.

Colin Powell, Thomas Sowell, Bill Cosby, Sarah Palin, Chick Norris, Steve Cole, Joe Arpaio, Harrison Ford, Will Smith And Denzel Washington.

I know most of these guys are movie stars but they all exhibit a kind of strength of character that I feel we need in the White House… They seem to have moral values that I can support. And at least some of them are aware of the issues and are prepared to do something about it.

The presidency is not about popularity though. And we need to realize that.
