For too many years our nation's ability to prioritize action items and then keep them in focus has suffered due to national ADHT.  Our attention span is short and so are our tempers.

Before Obama there was a lack of effective leadership in the White House and in Congress. OK so President Obama is doing the best he can do but is he doing it in the spirit of getting us all to work on it with him? 

We are concerned with young people who kill each other in the school yard.  What kind of a national role model do they have?  All they see are so-called adults calling each other names, yelling and screaming and, in the end, nothing gets done.

The White House now  has a template for calling people out on lies and 1/2 truths. Is this what is effective?  Is the White House Blog the proper venue to escoriate a member of the media? Don't they know that even negative publicity is good for those that seek it. 

Glen Beck is now a target; Sarah Palin is an on going and moving one.  The Democrats are making super stars out of both. Next thing you know we will have President Palin and Vice-President Beck.

Washington politicians just don't get it: The theatre that needs attention is the war in Afghanistan. We cannot afford to lose that and to win, all of the American people need to be behind it.  Can't do that if everyone is yelling at each other and thinking about the next negative blog post.

I guess politicians in Washington get up every morning and say to themselves "let the games begin."  Hey, fellas, wrong arena. That's the Olympics and that's not the focus we need either.
