America needs a man of action | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com

From national treasure Thomas Sowell....

This is not just another election and Barack Obama is not just another president whose policies we may not like. With all of President Obama's broken promises, glib demagoguery and cynical political moves, one promise he has kept all too well. That was his boast on the eve of the 2008 election: "We are going to change the United States of America."

Many Americans are already saying that they can hardly recognize the country they grew up in. We have already started down the path that has led Western European nations to the brink of financial disaster.

I do not necessarily agree that we need a 'man of action.' I just think that we need common sense. The current president is a bad man but unfortunately, the nation deserves this empty suit. They voted him in and now must endure the gruel that these Marxist have doled out.

The next national leader will be one that will be faced with severe crisis. The national debt is probably past the point of solution and no taxes will ever even come close to balancing the problem. The nation needs to seriously rethink what the central government is both supposed to do and what it is truly capable of. The rest has to be jettisoned. A common sense business person may, in-fact, be the best solution.
