If reelected will 2nd term Obama blame 1st term Obama on America's problems?

Let me explain it like this. It is often in times of crisis and life-threatening emergencies that the real character of an individual is made manifest. The contrasts between the leadership of an American airline captain and that of our current president offer us an opportunity for personal and societal reflection.

The differences could not be more striking. On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from New York's LaGuardia Airport with 155 passengers and crew on board. In the cockpit of the Airbus A-320 twin-engine aircraft were Captain Chesley Sullenberger and First Officer Jeff Skiles.

With First Officer Skiles at the controls, the airplane climbed away from the airport. As flight 1549 approached an altitude of 3,000 feet, the plane struck a flock of geese and instantly lost thrust in both engines. At once Captain Sullenberger realized that both engines were failing and imminent danger awaited the passengers and crew.

He quickly put his hand on the side stick, called out "my airplane" (at 3:53 in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE_5eiYn0... ), and took over control of the aircraft from First Officer Skiles. There was no panic, no fuss, no paralysis, no moment of indecision -- just calm, competent leadership and confident action. Captain Sullenberger steered the disabled plane, without power in either engine, towards a water landing into the Hudson River.

All 155 passengers and crew survived. A major catastrophe was averted thanks to one pilot's expert knowledge and superior experience. That amazing feat will forever be known as the "Miracle on the Hudson."

Unfortunately for America, a different kind of pseudo-leadership keeps emanating from the White House. Since taking office in 2009, President Obama's constant whining and perpetual blame game have reached a crescendo. Everyone else is responsible for all that's wrong in America. Obama's "blame everyone" campaign initially focused on President Bush, the Republicans, conservatives, Fox News, oil companies, and Wall Street.

Then he began pointing the finger of fault at capitalism, the "rich," low taxes, banks, coal energy plants, light bulbs, SUVs, business owners, truck owners, the private health care system, and private jet owners. He expanded his blame game to include the Tea Party, our "messy Democracy," Greece's financial crisis, and even S&P after it downgraded America's credit rating for the first time in our history. As America faces multiple crises, Obama's endless stream of attacks, excuses, justifications, and rationalizations soars to ever-higher levels of absurdity and foolishness.

It reached a new pinnacle last week, when the president ridiculously blamed "bad luck," brought on by troubles in the Middle East, the tsunami in Japan, and the European debt crises, for the moribund American economy. Rather than take ownership, accept responsibility, and take decisive and meaningful action, he continues to blame everyone else but himself for problems he has created, ignored, or exacerbated. O_O.

People ALWAYS blame the President for anything that goes wrong on his watch, just as he always reaps the credit for successes whether he had anything to do with them or not. That's why Harry Truman had that sign made for his desk proclaiming that, "The buck stops here." If you ask me, which of course no one actually did, those who insist that this particular President should not be criticized are no less raciest twits than those who claim he's not a citizen or that they've seen his portrait in their dirty underwear.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
