re: #326 Ford_Prefect

One of the things that made Ronald Reagan a great President is that he lead from a strong inner morality. He knew the difference between right and wrong and acted on that basis. Even when all of his advisers told him not to do or say something he did it anyway if he felt it was right. Even his famous “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” was something that he was told he couldn’t say because of who it might upset. He didn’t care. He knew that it was right, so he did it.

Our current President has no moral compass. That, more than anything else, is going to damage this country for years to come. It becomes ever more important for a truly great leader to step up and lead us out of this mess.

I’m going to disagree just a little. Obama may have a moral compass, but it may be pointed in a dangerous direction, making us less safe. We’re going to find out very soon. We’ll know if he makes us safer or less so. I hope for the former, but expect the latter.
