Whatever Happened to Being Qualified?

Growing up in the 50s and 60s, I understood that the office of the President of the United States was occupied by a great orator with unbounded energy, high ideals, superior intelligence and impeccable decision-making skills. Obviously, those days are gone. Today the occupant of that office is a sleepy senior given to slurring his words, a proven liar and plagiarist who has profited from influence-peddling, unsure of where he is at any given time, and reliant on others to make all important decisions for our nation.

His Vice-President, who would take over should he drop dead today, which could happen, is no better. While she may have high energy she surely has low ideals, knows little of world events as far as we have seen, prattles on about nothing and has never made one decision that impacts the country. She is, however, half-black and half-South Asian, which are her only qualifications beyond her gender, allegedly female.

To say we are up the creek without a paddle should the Democrats win in November is a mighty understatement. Yet the clueless Democrats forge ahead with Joe and Kamala as their chosen candidates for 2024. This seems odd since there are currently 23 Democratic governors, 46 Democratic senators and 213 Democratic congressmen (and women). How is it possible that not two of those 282 politicians are capable of running the country? And if not, what the heck are they doing making our laws?
