Black’s comments are a classic case of surrogates not having thier campaign talking points in front of them. The end result is that they actually let slip what they are thinking. HRC did the same thing with her remarks about Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, making her case to stay a little longer in the race for the presidency.

Two things are in play here, society’s view of the presidency and the 24 hour news cycle. Most who aspire to the presidency (now and in the past) for the entitlement it brings and the possibility that one might leave some sort of legacy in the bargain. There have only ever been a handful of occupants in the white house who ascended to the position because of a sense of duty to his fellow man. They know that the presidency is about responsibility and accountability and through acting that out are actually able to awaken those same qualities in others.

The all news, all the time cycle powered by the internet doesn’t allow presidential candidates or thier handlers to hide anything for very long. Black’s true ambitions were unveiled and they reveal the world in which he lives, measuring political power and advantage rather than an interest in exhibiting leadership. The blogger is right, there is no monopoly by either party, on this kind of cynicism.

We can be hopeful, as our country’s history has proven, that the leaders we desperately need will come to power at the times when we need it most. That is to say, that these difficult times will awaken humble, resolute leadership in America.

Hey anonymous…
If you would actually research the many laughable “coincidences”, you might reconsider your views about the many still UNANSWERED, strange “conspiracy” concerning 9/11.

The reason these questions go unanswered is because 99% of the country thinks, “that would never happen”. Of course, this is followed by the ever popular, “no research” and calling those who don’t think as they do, “crazy”, “stupid”, “wacko” and many other words that belong in parenthesis.

It really isn’t that shocking if you think about it.

Anyway, I’m not trying to start an un-endable debate about UFO’s and moon landings.

To just blindly follow the words of our “leadership” is foolish. Their powerful positions bring about more evil influence than you or I will ever see… and when you combine that with a DEEP love for money, that’s a scary combination (a hush falls over the crowd while all of those present ponder the life changing epiphany that just took place. lol)

and, no, I didn’t look up epiphany.

Anonymous- yes, I struggle with faith and politics (and other things too). That’s an intentional aspect of this site- I’m not interested in presenting myself as a polished and perfect guru. If you’ll bother to read the content here, you’ll see that I reflect and question my own shortcomings often. And I hope that readers are willing to do the same.
