If the President were a Fortune 500 CEO...

I have worked for Fortune 150, Fortune 45 and, yes, Fortune 1. I've even worked for the second larget privatee company in the United States. There is one thing for certain, executives are expected to be the Chief Advocate of their company. It is their responsibility to put the best face forward for the sake of the company's reputation and profitability. The President is the head of the executive branch of our government. This makes him the CEO of the single greatest country in the world, the United States of America. However, the CEO of our company, in which we are compelled to be unpaid shareholders, publicly embarrasses us. He tells the world that we will stop paying our employees, we will default on our debts and our executives can't get along with each other keeping us from making sound decisions. In the real world where a business generates money instead of taking it, that type of behavior would cost a Chief Executive his job. If you doubt we are a business, take a minute to ponder the fact that this Democratic Republic has a credit rating with all of the major agencies. Countries invest in us and expect a positive results. When the face of this business denigrates it and shows our bare behind to the world, the board of directors and shareholders should demand their resignation. It is strange indeed that it is harder to remove an elected official than the head of a major company. When did this particular executive forget that we, well maybe not me(I didn't pick this guy), put him there and he owes us better. Our leader should represent our business with the fierce loyalty and care of an executive receiving millions of dollars in options for his trouble. The pension for a President sounds like a fair trade for that, so now we deserve to be properly represented. Our leader needs to get his mud in a pile and lead us with pride.
