I was raised to believe in American exceptionalism but I am troubled that there appears to be no mammoth ideas at the national level. Political campaigns argue over social issues that I thought were resolved years ago. Strident words without any real vision have left America at a crossroad without any dynamic vision. A nation that built a national higway system,went to the moon, struggled toward a great society,freed the people of Europe from the Nazi’s and created the Internet seems rudderless. It is not the lack of imagination from the people, but rather the lack of leadership at the top. We as a people cannot wait for courage from the elected, and the spirit of those who came and built this great land. must come to the front.We have no Lincoln or Jefferson at the helm ,but there are legions who unleashed will make us leap beyond the current malaise that prevents what we want and need.Demand those at the top to either lead or get out of the way
