Our "Peter Principle" President

     By Ronald Joseph Kule

I'm just sitting at my latest office space - the dining room table strewn with all of my notes and papers of ideas over most of it...thinking of the events out of Washington DC these days in America.
     Our President, I believe, is a good example of what is known as the "Peter Principle."  This principle states that someone will get promoted up the ladder until he reaches the position that is beyond his capabilities.
     Unfortunately, this time I think America as a voting nation has elected the Peter Principle into the office of the Presidency, and it shows.  No major legislation passed in the first year, and the one we almost got saddled with we most defintely did not want passed - universal healthcare!  We dodged a bullet with that one so far! 
     Guess I'm sorta glad he is that incompetent for the office.
     If only Obama could wise up and realize that the only way to get an economy going well is to let the exchange of goods and services flow with only minimal government intervention and taxation.  A free-flowing marketplace polices itself when sellers can only sell to buyers who want their goods at prices the consumers are willing to pay.  There isn't much room for government meddling in such a simple equation.
     Later this year when we can vote for needed congressional change which will set the stage for the real change needed in November 2012: a new President with experience commensurate to the office.
     Guess I really do believe in the Peter Principle after all!
