America in Need of a Leader Who Believes in It

Brit Hume

If you’re going to lead an organization (say, a civic organization, a church, a charity, a nonprofit, a company,…a country), it’s not unreasonable to expect such a leader to be proud of your organization, to love your organization, to defend your organization.

Yet it seems too much to ask for President Barack Obama to be proud of the country he leads.  It’s too much to ask him to represent us with strength.  It’s too much to ask him to love and defend our country.

And in a world filled with jackals and wolves like North Korea, Iran, China, and a long list of terrorist organizations and sympathetic nations, weakness is an engraved invitation to attack.

Yet President Obama routinely sends out such invitations.

We don’t need leaders who continually try to change us from what we are into a likeness of cheap harlots seen around the world.  We don’t need leaders who claim to love us but make it clear that they loathe who we really are.  We don’t need leaders who complain about our every flaw, real or imagined.  We don’t need leaders who make it clear they loathe who we are at our very core.

We need a president who believes in the exceptionalism of America.  We need a president who recognizes the unique values and strengths of our nation.  We need a president who acknowledges the great leader we are and the great good our country does.
