The stain on the President's shirt!

When any Head of State is addressing people whether he be in his own country or in a foreign land and there is a visible stain on his shirt he is bound to be judged in any one of the following ways:

He is a Blind leader
Some people will say the President is blind, "how can he not see that big stain on his shirt?". If he then can't see the stain on his own shirt, how is he going to see the way forward for the country? How can he even see our needs if he can not notice the need to remove that horrendous stain. That is why he never saw the earthquake coming and we have always told you so that he can not see, what more proof do we need, that stain is right under his nose just like the corrupt judges and ministers in his cabinet but he can not see it too. He neither has vision nor foresight and we can not have him as a leader".

Those around him are blind
Part of the crowd will say that those around the President are blind. That is to say his security, his advisers, his ministers and all the company that can be associated with the presidency. They will ask, "how could they not see such a big stain that's right in front of them". Therefore they are not qualified to minister or advise the president if they can not see even the smallest of problems. They are not educated neither are they refined or cultured else they would address that stain, maybe they do not even know that it is a stain and they certainly have no idea what it implies, "no wonder the earthquake hit us" That part of the crowd will analyze and conclude that they can not be ruled by people who are so blind  that they can not see the stain on the president's shirt when they are so close to him.

Those around him are either cowards or traitors
Some individuals will also say that the people within the president's circles are cowards or they are traitors. Those individuals will say that the people around the president fear the president to the extent that they can not tell him about the stain on his shirt which in turn reflects badly on the leader as well. "how can they be such wimps?" they will ask whilst others would have concluded that within the president's circles there is a traitor or are taitors who intentionally put the stain on the president's shirt so that he would look bad, "and rumor also has it that the same traitors caused the earthquake"

it is a media scam
Some people will blame the media for the stain. They will choose to believe that there is no stain on the leader's shirt but that it is the machinations of the media trying to put the president's name in disrepute. "Do you remember how they made everyone believe that there was an earthquake" they will say " so you should not believe whatever the media says. "its a lie there is no stain" they will declare. The same will have the media as their only source of information but as they told you "you never believe the media, yes if you want the truth go on the internet 'online' CNN is better than 'live' tv CNN"

The country's enemies put the stain on the President's shirt
then there are also those who will be bent on believing that the country's enemies secretly put the stain on the president's shirt. That it was an act of terrorism which shows that the country's defense systems need to be beefed up. they will say that they know of secret spies who have for a very long time planned to put the stain on their leader's shirt and that those responsible should be brought to justice, "Remember when everyone else thought we had an earthquake? now we have been silence for too long" They will march and die crossing rivers to defend their leader from the stain.

The president is just a man
Then there will be some who will simply see the stain, point it out but then listen to the man's words and watch what he actions. That part of the crowd is not too concerned with the stain on the leader's shirt and after all 'he can also make mistakes', "Remember how honest he was when the earthquake hit the country and how he tried"


"And that is why you will never find any president in a stained shirt"
