Poor Leadership

Gasoline went up twelve cents a gallon overnight in Kansas City.   We can thank the current POTUS, Obama, who is without doubt, in my estimation, the worst president in the history of the US.

Why did this increase happen?  First, Obama has done nothing about removing the Iranian threat to close the Strait of Hormuz.  Nor has he done anything to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat.  Second, he nixed the Keystone pipeline project.  The pipeline would have provided thousands of jobs which we sorely need.  And, the pipeline would have eventually gone a long way to making us less dependent on foreign oil.

Obama can be beaten in November but the Republican presidential candidates need to start discussing the REAL issues facing America.  Instead they want to bicker over which candidate pays the most income tax.  Or, who may be cheating on their income tax.  Or, the sexual propensities of one candidate or the other.

You can't totally blame the candidates.  A big chunk of the blame for the non-issue questions is laid at the feet of the journalists covering the campaigns and debates.  If they don't ask serious questions about the real issues, we are going to continue getting answers lacking relevance.  And, if we are not careful, come November we are going to know less about the Republican Presidential candidate, than we knew about Obama '08.  In which case, Obama probably wins.
