LEADERSHIP DEFINED

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

In his own words

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Celtic Woman addresses the US Military

The Pentagon channel did a piece on Oh America while the group was working on the Good Morning America show. Following is the Pentagon's publication.

I feel like I keep harping on this, but I feel strongly that there is a lot to be learned by many US citizens when you look at this development in context. These ladies are not US citizens. Listen to them!

"Thank you for all your support and we hope you are home soon."
