It’s too bad that the most powerful leader of the world is not elected under the Merit Promotion criteria, but instead is elected to office like a Television Promotion.

 That’s rite like a T.V. commercial, think about it the MTV generation goes after anyone who would dare and compare merit to popular culture.

How dare anyone say that the most powerful position in the world be merited!

However, history has proved that the most popular leaders have not always been the best leaders. Winston Churchill was never popular before England really needed him, but because of his experience he had merited, he rose to the level of being one of the greatest men in history!

If one really thinks about it most great people were prepared for leadership long before they were expected to perform in whatever task they were given.

I don’t care how much establishment, educators, or media personalities like a person it all boils down to that individual’s preparedness and character traits.

Most any other executive position a person is hired for (unless they are someone’s cronies)  has always been based on that persons merit and leadership credentials so why should the President of the United States be any different, yet it often is.

I often think about that old verse, “My people perish, for lack of knowledge” and this verse is not just talking about some sheepskin, when taken in contexts.

All throughout history, if people had chosen their leaders wisely instead of just for selfish reasons many civilizations would not have crumbled as quickly as they did.

Anyway, I wish the President of the United States was chosen based on Merit rather than Popularity, because in the long run that would be better for US all.
