The Lost Focus of America:

America has lost its' focus becuase the poor leadership shown by the President and members of congress. America has been busy as the worlds policeman and has put not enough focus in matters of trade and social issues. It appears that the military machine is driveing foreign policy, though I know that it is not. American leadership has strayed from whats important to Americans. Whats important to Americans'? Jobs, security, education, the desire to feel safe and secure in the golden years that includes knowing that social security and medicaid are going to be safe. The social contract that Americans' have with their government has few stipulations. They are: keep government small, no one like to see government waste. Don't think of touching social security, unless the changes you make are small and incremental. Keep America safe from terrorists and extremeists who threaten the security, safety,and freedom of all Americans. Finally jobs, jobs, jobs. People want to work, people want to prosper, people will feel happy if they feel government is keeping the contract. America has lost the confidence in it's president the president lost focus as to whats' important to the American people. The president duped the American people by feeding off their desire for revenge, after the events of 9/11/01, and by trying to tie Saddam Hussien to the subsequent war on terror. America has thus shown that its desire for revenge only goes so far, so to does its' stomach for war, and the risk of American casualties in the hell of war.
History has shown that America will mobilize, and gird for war only in when it sees the threat of evil approaching. Thus the president lost the support of the American people when the threat of immenent attack from a evil foe did not materialize. The president lost his focus on whats' important to the American people in his desire to take out Saddam Hussien.
