Prolems of the leaders

Leaders

Many people claim that the current U.S. president, George Bush, has some kind of problems, some believe it’s a brain problem while others psychological. Recently, a scientist identified the psychological problem that Bush “faces” with a syndrome of denial. Of course, Bush is not the only leader that is alleged to have such problems. Many leaders have to deal with such rumors. How true can these be and if they are, should we worry about being governed from such people?

Even though every serious scientist (psychologist) accepts that only if you examine personally and for plenty hours a human you can tell if he faces any problems and this many times may be proved misleading, many so called “specialists” make some very serious statements about some leaders without having even met that leader. And as it is rational, these statements are frequently first news for the media. As a consequence most of the times people are reading misleading articles about their readers while the problems of vital importance that concern the common people get in second fate. Some believe that this may be done on purpose in order to disorientate the common people from their real problems.

On the other hand there are those who do not believe that it makes any difference at all whether their leader has psychological or brain problems. The reason they give for this belief is that especially in powerful countries (like U.S., Britain) it is a rare phenomenon the president to actually control the country. They claim that no matter if the president is a genius or someone with small brain function, the people who really have much power are different and it is possible that the common people never learn their name or what they did.

Of course, all these are rumors, because I don’t believe that the whole truth will ever be learnt from anyone. However, it is preferable not to believe these kinds of rumors because they only harm the leader and the country and have no benefit at all, unless this is what they are what they are supposed to do…
