A RULER'S WORD IS POWER
A ruler's word is power be it wise or not
The word of a king or president is power and it is powerful unto itself.
Since the power of life and death resides in the tongue, in the tongue of one who reigns supreme, it is lethal!
This power is all-the-more reason to assure that the leader is wise.
A foolish leader will say anything; thereby, either prompting or prolonging impending disaster.
Fortunately, we now have a wise leader, in Obama, unlike his predecessor who was a foolish leader, Bush.
OBAMA'S two terms have primarily been spent undoing the economic and military destruction caused by the words and deeds of BUSH's two terms, both home and abroad, over the obstruction of Congress, which prefers shutting down government to compromising its all-or-none agenda.
History is unkind to the doctrinaire and to the destructive; so is Karma. A fool sows the wind and reaps the whirlwind, Hosea, 8:7; but wisdom is rewarded with joy and righteousness.
