We’ve lost our leaders. None of these politicians - president, speaker, house majority leader, CIA director, generals - have any focus on getting the job done right in a way that serves the citizens of the United States. They have lost all semblance of context, service, humility, gravity, seriousness, and the other qualities that our Founders discussed as necessary to leading a great nation.

You are correct - we are led by circus clowns.

I taught eighth grade for ten years and even they did not behave in such a sophomoric manner.

-- ... we are led by circus clowns. --

Maybe as a collective, "we" are being led by arrogant and opportunistic clowns, but as individuals, and I'm sure you'll agree, we are free to ignore their orders and risk the consequences.

You've likely seen the remark that Obama is the symptom, that the country can survive a foolish leader - and that the underlying disease of a foolish populace is the root of the problem. The leaders, who as you very aptly put it, "have lost all semblance of context, service, humility, gravity, seriousness, and the other qualities that our Founders discussed as necessary to leading a great nation," reflect the rotted part of the public. They are self serving, and they believe they deserve / have earned their station.

This truly is the age of the American Idol presidency. The Daily Show is the primary news source. Everyone sending compromising pictures of themselves with their "smart" phones.

On another thread, several people are writing cryptically of a grand conspiracy. I think it is much simpler, and dumber than anyone could imagine.
