Obama missing the drive

Sat., Aug. 30, 2014

President Obama has neither the want, desire, nor the passion to either be seated behind, be seen near or want any part of a desk that brings with it so much responsibility. He’d rather work from a cellular phone, a teleconferencing room or while attending either a fundraiser, concert or sporting event.

The office of president represents more, needs more and demands more, much like its people. This man no longer wishes to be your president.
