The Top Of The Pile...
Normally I try to stay away from the subject of politics….do I always succeed? No, but I still try. Without voicing my opinion in regard to any particular candidate, (which is different than what I do at home, surprise, surprise) I just have to say, is there anyone left in America who’s not thinking about running for President of The United States? It seems as though about every three days someone else says “I’m in”.
How does one begin to “weed” out the candidates that really are not suited for the job? There are a few who don’t have the experience or even the personality, some who can’t take care of their own “stuff” let alone a nation. Of course, we all should want someone who is able to deal with criticism (because we all know if it’s not your guy, he can’t do anything right), someone who remains calm in the face of enormous pressure.
Wouldn’t it be great if we all could vote for the candidate based on our belief that he or she is the one who will be able to the best job instead of voting based on our political parties? Isn’t that a crazy thought, vote for the candidate that we think will do the best job? But why is it crazy? Don’t we hire folks to work in our businesses, based on who we think will do the best job? Don’t we elect our school board members and village boards based on who we think is right one for the position?
It will be interesting to see who ends up on the top of the pile, unfortunately it’s going to be awhile before we know. And unfortunately, most of the country will vote the way they always do, with their heart not their head…k
