Presidential Leadership Qualities

Paper Summary:

The writer describes the leadership qualities he would ideally like to see in a candidate for the Presidency of the United States that include integrity, responsibility and a commitment to set a visionary and inspiring example the American people can admire and emulate. The writer argues that America is in desperate need of a charismatic transformational leader who will tell them the truth, inspire them and set an example of responsible governing in order to restore trust in the White House. The writer claims that this trust has been shattered by the current president and needs to be restored.

From the Paper:

"The last seven years have been an endless spectacle of deceit and corruption. Because of relentless presidential abuses of power since 2001, a public consensus has formed in the United States and the world beyond that leading Bush Administration officials, including the president himself, are scheming liars, brazen hypocrites, and have nothing but contempt for the principles of democracy and the rule of law. They have acknowledged no limit to their power, reject every fact that does not coincide with their delusional worldview, and spend most of their time trying to cover up the abuses of power and obstructions of justice they have perpetrated for seven years."
