When all is said and done, by way of behavior and intent, they are not OUR leaders. Their motivations are becoming more obvious and we can see that their concerns have little to do with actual people on the ground. I mean, the effectively allude to that all the time.

When I think of OUR leaders, in the sense of any united and altruistic impetus to deal with this in a non-partisan, intelligent and compassionate manner, it is Gov. Quomo and the recent Obama video that says, OUR leaders and I mean everyone, not just our side.

If someone holds a titular position and, time and time again, does not do their sworn duty and take responsibility for it and if they have motives that serve other interests and their own, then what good is the title really? They are "leaders" in name only who cannot lead, but only make demands and give commands. That's not what America is about.
