After eight years of fiscal, diplomatic and military irresponsibility, we need a president who is smart enough and wise enough to decipher good public policy—policy that actually solves problems. That’s the kind of leadership Senator Barack Obama is offering.
Standing his ground in the face of two opponents who are offering what looks like a quick fix, Obama is well aware that the supposed “gas tax holiday” scheme is likely to make the problem worse, not better—and we should be investing our precious time, energy and resources into real solutions to bring gas prices down—not mask or make worse the problem at hand.
Tough position. Obama is not taking the easy road out on this issue. Politically, he’d be better off joining Clinton and McCain in saying, “Let’s take a summer holiday, everybody!” However, Obama is actually concerned with more than just politics—he’s actually concerned with solving real problems in order to bring real relief to every family in America.
After eight years of Bush’s drain on the United State’s budget, the kind of leadership Obama offers would be a welcome, refreshing relief. We should all know by now that political pandering and short-term gimmicks only lead to long-term suffering. We’re all suffering now. And while it may come as a surprise to some, it appears that the youngest of the presidential candidates is the wiser of the three.
