Stricken with Obama fever


Panlilio run worries two Catholic bishops

Blame it on Obama. Now everyone with "clean hands" and gift of rhetoric claims he or she can be Malacañan's messiah.

I have nothing personal against priests or Among Ed in particular, but I simply don't see him capable enough to lead the country towards "Change" as what Obama promises to do in the US. In fact, I see him as someone who can bring so much more divide in our already tormented political and social environment. The fact that he failed to sway the "hostile" Mayors in his province into his fold is enough evidence of his weak leadership. It just goes to show that being good alone does not make a fit leader. It's a combination of many things; no particular formula but just the right mix of skills, personality, and intellect.

Most importantly, great leaders do not seek office; it is the office that seeks them. Among Ed may have all the good intentions in making known his great political ambition, but it just ain't right and he simply ain't fit.

This I confess.
