The President of the USA is nothing more than a job title; some have said it is a representation of the most powerful man in the free world. I, myself have a problem with that definition and here is why
1. If the President is the most powerful person in the free world how come a group of citizens can fire him from his job through voting?
2. Isn’t the President a representative of the people themselves and if so aren’t the people where importance lies?
3. For a man of such power shouldn’t he be able to get news from somewhere other then CNN or Al Jazeera?
The President is an important piece in the running of a nation but the position is no more important than any of the other branches. Men worship the title and what they find is a false God, one that proclaims control but has very little and when they over step their authority they find themselves unemployed. A title does not bring honor, men create honor from their actions. Soldiers each day who save civilians or protect their brothers or sisters are honorable but there are some who fail their fellow soldiers and honor is not part of their makeup.
Like soldiers the men and women of public office are the creators of their own honor or the keepers of apathy and greed. They perform with duty and service or they perform with self righteous indignation like a child in a sand box drawing the sand to them so others cannot play.
Honor is what they should seek for that is how they become good servants of the people but instead most demand that the people are servants to them. Most believe the title gives then respect and forget it is the position worked properly that draws attention and respect. Remember inmate is a title, the title does not describe the man just his position.
If you believe the President because of his title or because of his title and color and do not look at his record, you are part of the problem. His race is nothing more than an indicator of his heritage and his title is nothing more then something earned through a popularity contest held every four years. Ask yourself what he has really done that brings honor to himself and to his name. 25 scandals now and counting, is there honor in breaking the very rules he signed into law?
Honor is not given to anyone through the granting of a title but earned through righteous works, hard work and persistence. Honor is what each of us should measure our leaders but we must remember to honor the person’s actions not his title or we are nothing more than sheep waiting to be sheared.
