I have never doubted for a moment that our President's heart is in the right place or how obviously concerned he is for the welfare of the people in this country who need the government's help the most.
He also cuts a dashing, elegant, and commanding figure of whom we can be enormously proud when he represents this country abroad. (Plus he also knows how to open a door.)
Nor do I have the slightest doubt that, if left to his own devices, with no obstruction, he would single handedly remake this country into a far better place in which to live than it is now, as well as extricate us from the stagnation and decay that George W. Bush left for him.
Also, one can't help but marvel at his meteoric ascendancy from a middle, or lower middle, class upbringing as a half white, half African American young man without a father in his life to the office of the Presidency of the United States. What odds might he have gotten when he was, say, 15 years old, that someday he would accomplish the uniquely breathtaking feat of becoming the most powerful and influential person in the entire world? (Although admittedly, the stature of the presidency has lost some of its luster, and a great deal of its grandeur, after eight years of being occupied by the spoiled child who preceded President Obama.)
However, the President unfortunately also seems to be afflicted with two related and fatal flaws, each of which is putting him, and the rest of us, in harm's way, and each of which could well cause long term damage to this country and its citizens.
I shall elaborate later today.
