What in the World

is going on with our government ( USA)? Our Congress is embarrassing itself trying to prove that they hate the greedy bonus takers. It makes no difference to them that these folks had entered into contracts that provided for such. Since when did legal considerations enter into the workings of Congress.

No one is happy about the AIG bonuses but sometimes you must act like an adult instead of pandering to the electorate. What in the world is our President doing in pandering to the mobs. As our country's leader he is supposed to be smart enough to demonstrate that we are a nation that respects its laws and the contracts of companies.

What in the world has happened to the senior statesmen guiding our President. It is very dangerous to limit your advisors to those who ran your compaign because the talents to run a campaign differ dramatically from the talents necessary to guide the President of the United States. Campaign leaders who have been successful in electing a President of the USA have a natural arrogance caused by their success. An arrogance that leads them to believe that they are smarter than everyone else and do not require advise from those who have lived through the experience of guiding leaders in the past.

Who in the world is pushing the President to extend his attention beyond the recession issues into other areas on the theory that the best time to achieve your program is during a crisis. The question is who gains other than the aids that pushed the idea until its hits everyone that it was a mistake to bite off more than one can chew. What in the world makes the President feel that he can better devote his attention to four large issues instead of solving the major issue first. It is another example of the arrogance of success.

What in the world will the President do when he recognizes that his arrogance has lead to disaster for his country. An aplology will not suffice. It is always important to set priorities and solve the difficult issues first.
