Trust

Trust is what breaks down when one has compartmentalized; when one can no longer see the continuum in all, and between things. POTUS does not engender trust. Nor does he trust. POTUS is young, black and highly positioned. Perhaps he does not think he deserves to be where he is. Perhaps he feels he has been put there by others. Perhaps he is not even American.

It’s not about POTUS as much we would like to make it so. It’s about us. It’s about having neglected our duty to stay vigilant. We didn’t pay attention when li’l Johnny came home from school with bananas and hockey sticks. We didn’t correct him when he started out mouthing off about ‘global warming‘. Instead, we let it pass and said, “He’ll learn when he’s older.” No, Obama is not ‘other‘; he is li’l Johnny who never learned to add properly, now become president. Who would have thunk it?

This crisis we’re in is entirely homegrown. We’ve let the weeds overtake the garden. Now that we’re looking for fruit, there’s nothing there. Obama is the product of what we ourselves have done (or neglected to do). Think about it? What foreign power, even in a jealous fit of rage, would ever think of cutting off its mother‘s teat?
