Letter: Why can’t we identify a leader with balance?

Everyone is familiar with the pendulum. With every complete swing, imagine each end stop as a political extreme. We swing 180 degrees for Obama. Trump swings an opposite 180 degrees. Why can’t we identify with a leader with balance?

Obama is a radical 180 degrees for socialism. Hillary is 180 degrees for feminism. Obama is 180 degrees for gun control. Hillary is 180 degrees as a pillar of gay rights. Obama is 180 degrees entrenched with lies. Hillary is 180 degrees entrenched with coverups.

Who can balance a budget? Who can balance EPA regulatory power? Who will step up to the plate and begin to rid our country of political dysfunction? I pity the next president because we have made its (politically correct pronoun) job impossible.
