Never in the history of America as a nation have we been brought to such an economic standstill than by the managerial deviance and downright inability or unwillingness of our elected leaders to make decisions to the benefit of our country in a timely manner. Case in point: The future of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Hillary Clinton literally put this nation on a hook, to twist in the wind, for her four years as Secretary of State and then added additional years to the time it took for her to finally nix the pipeline. Good people, that's longer than it took us to fight and win World War II. General Eisenhower planned and launched the greatest invasion in history in under two years and defeated the Nazis in less than a year after hitting the beaches of Normandy.
In this accelerated electronic age, America can ill afford to have leaders as slow witted or self centered as Hillary Rodham Clinton, at the head of our nation. When one leads, you have to march faster than those behind you, and America is going to have to run like all get-out if we are to economically survive the financial hole that has been dug by our spendthrift president in his past seven years.
During the 2007 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton declared herself a "Progressive" and not a Democrat during the CNN Debate at The Citadel in July of that year; and did so again in CNN's Democrat Party Debate this past October, so you would think someone who glories in being so darn 'progressive' could have made a tad more rapid progress in arriving at her decision on Keystone XL.
