Are you going to insist that Mr. Salazar step down from his post in disgrace and shame? Will you hold another prime time television press conference and tell the entire truth to the American people? These would be the actions of a man the buck stops with.
I know when this news was breaking midday on Saturday you and the Vice President were out on the golf course. Was it 39th or 40th time you've played a round in 18 months?
Never mind, your priorities are for you to decide.
At least until election night...
It is one thing entirely Mr. President to charter new territory and to have to deal with genuinely new problems. President Bush sure had to. He had to respond to an attack on our homeland that took the lives of 3000 of our fellow citizens. And on his watch no other terrorist actions took lives of Americans on our soil, largely due to his steadfast leadership to accept no excuses on the matter.
You on the other hand have watched as dozens of Americans have been killed by terrorists, and thousands more targeted without interference. I mean let's face it the underwear bomber and the Times Square bomber weren't the brightest bulbs in the respective box and they still initiated attacks against your stewards. Catching them afterwards is no big deal, and be thankful that you had the NYPD to bail you out.
But Mr. President, you have no leadership experience and it appears you have even less skill. Being a good dad and nice guy who sees the world as he wishes it to be is not exactly a resume of exacting leadership.
Your advisors have failed you and you have failed the American people on nearly everything we've asked of you.
Where you go from here is really your call, but you'd be advised of two options if you genuinely love the country you work for and those of us you report to.
Change your tactics. Appear to care. Attempt to engage and empower Americans who can and will go solve this mess.
Otherwise resign.
For the good of the nation, for your own children's future, change your patterns or change your path... but change!
You do remember that word don't you Mr. President?
