Critics of national leadership, while few in number but much too vocal, make it sound as if the president is already resigned in his effort to change the nation. They bombard leadership on every issue despite years of offering no solutions to the drug problem.

In the past, no culprits were brought forward regarding the illegal drug problem because they had no plans to combat the issue. The same is true for other matters the current administration wants to tackle.

The media, both television and newspaper, never mention the good deeds accomplished by national leadership; yet, whenever the president takes action that appears detrimental to his predecessor, a wildfire is sparked on social media. Why is that so? Are these criticisms being paid for?
