How many people are in that picture? How many more people surround that small rectangular fragment of people? And who is that man in the suit standing above the masses?
That is a snapshot of more than 200,000 people thronged in Berlin to hear Barack Obama speak in 2008.
Our president has become tarnished over the last few years and it is obvious that he now lacks the luster to draw such crowds now that his campaign message has translated into a presidential reality and disappointment.
At this point, I no longer even gain much satisfaction from criticizing Barack Hussein Obama are poignantly detailing how little he deserves to be the President of the United States of America. It's too easy. The only frustration lies in how little it is reported. The man was officially elected president by a majority of Americans and that's fine. I don't like it but I accept it. I am doing everything in my humble power to prevent it from happening again in 2012 but if it does, it does. I am still going to live my life with the integrity and discipline that can only be attained by the least possible amount of governmental influence.
Regarding the picture above and so many others we see just like it, here is what I don't get. Why are so many people fooled into believing that electing one single man, who bleeds just like they do and sits on a toilet and craps each morning just like they do, can somehow change the world or end their woes? Why do they not understand that it is they who wield the power and it is their goals, ambitions, and beliefs in themselves that garner success. It is not one man. To even appear at a rally of this caliber in size is basically forfeiting any belief you have in yourself and selling those beliefs to one single man who you are foolish enough to believe can somehow save you.
My ideal leader is one that has America so bustling and busy that I don't even know what his name is or what his face looks like. The picture above is no solution. It serves no purpose other than to further inflate the ego of yet another politician. And, that's all that Barack Hussein Obama is; one more of many others who all seek a podium, a teleprompter, and an agenda completely unrelated to the words that are coming out of their mouths.

Here is what happened one year ago on Day257.
