Stepping back and taking the long view is important, I was just talking with my coworker about stepping back from the news/internet, reminding ourselves that we have jobs, tomorrow's Friday, and all of that stuff is just pixels on a screen for us at this point.
But this sort of thing is not excusable, and I've been seeing a lot of excuse making for this sort of thing here and elsewhere.
The long view is that competent leadership looks out for the interests of the masses lest it fail catastrophically. Betraying or denying those interests is not good for survival; think of Nicholas II.
We will need a Lincoln-like or FDR-like leader to extricate America from the mess that it is in and will have Obama-like leaders to allow the consolidation of something good.
