Difficulties Are Valuable
You might wonder what I think of our current president (considering I run a website like this one), how he, his family, and his staff, have reacted to the difficulties they’ve faced.
The difficulties of this administration have been great, but they have also been diamonds in the rough. The obstacles these men and women have faced were incredible opportunities for growth and rare chances to display a strength of character of awe-inspiring depth. Did they taken advantage of these opportunities? Did they grow and adapt and become role-models for the rest of the nation? No. They’ve let these opportunities fall by the wayside and have successfully done only this: look greedy and incompetent.
These days it just seems like we American Voters just can’t catch a break, can we?
