We are now apparently fully engaged in the campaign for the next President. It doesn't seem like the current one ever stopped.
We have a lot of contenders for the democratic nomination and I guess that's OK it will get sorted out over time. Still the main issue that gets talked about is what is needed to win, not what the country needs.
One of the things that helped the current president emerge from the long list of Republican candidates was that he seemed different, taking positions unequivocally about certain things.
Most of his positions consisted of meaningless sound bites and after getting elected not much has changed.
Still the public wants to hear ideas about where the country is headed, not platitudes.
We do see a few candidates with ideas and the debates might clarify it more.
We need a leader to emerge, not a politician, who has real concern for all the people in this country, and a vision of the future which isn't a retreat into a past that is gone.
America has a greatness about it and part of that is inclusion and progress.
We need a President who can take us there.
