I was once deeply involved in an organization where the leader was in power for a single year. Because the term is only one year, that person must be very experienced before hand or most of the year is spent in learning, not leading.

Because of internal politics, an inexperienced person who wasn’t able to go out to inspire the people or know the organization was elected to lead. Few people want to work with the person because of the leader’s personality, inexperience, lack of knowledge, and paranoia. Some were able to take necessary positions and to put the organization over their distaste of the leader and the constant conflicts with that leader. One of the conflicts was the group leader had come from wealth and could not understand how the great majority of the people in the organization aren’t wealthy.

The next leader wasn’t an inspiring person but did his best to halt the slide and allow the next person to set the stage for the coming year. The next leader was the most experienced person the organization had produced in years and was able by appointing dedicated people to many positions and by sheer willpower, excited the people to do good things.

The above strikes me as what is happening in the White House. The current leader is inexperienced, paranoid, has thoughts of grandeur, and hard to work for. The country has fallen into a moral decay. I believe the next president should not be one who wants to do great things but one who can halt the slide and calm the people. The one after that might be elected to inspire and put our country on a greater path. Obviously I think Joe Biden is the calming person with Amy Klobuchar as his vice-president. Both are the moderates we so desperately need at this time.
