Most Americans lack confidence in leaders - poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

BOSTON (Reuters) - Seventy-three percent of Americans lack confidence in their leaders and a majority believe the country would be better off with more women in power, a survey showed on Tuesday.

The survey by Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and the U.S. News & World Report also showed that 66 percent of Americans believe the United States faces a leadership crisis.

The release of the poll comes as President George W. Bush is struggling to stem a slide in popularity caused by the slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina, the Iraq war and soaring gasoline prices.

The nationwide telephone survey of 1,374 adults, taken from September 13 to September 23, covered all levels of U.S. leaders -- from the White House to Congress and state and local governments.

1. Yeah well who did they vote for?

Huh? They wouldn't be part of the crowd that told everyone not to change horses in midstream would they? Would they?

2. Leadership crisis?

That is the understatement of the decade. We are oppressed by venal criminals who have seized power via electoral fraud, treason, murder, and belligerent war.

More tax cuts for my cronies. More handouts for my corporate benefactors! Spread the pain among the people, they must sacrifice more. Cut their programs.
