Leaders must know when to step down

I feel Hillary’s pain because she has been in the spotlight for so many years and it’s so hard for one to see the finish or the last line. I see that it’s almost over. Hillary wants the finish line.

I can relate in a similar time and place. Drs. Johnson, Hollis, Gilliabou and others telling the leaders of our city of Albany: Get real, gentlemen. Get your business under control. Get out of your business because your limits have come to an end. Let someone else take over, and this was 1965 and these doctors saw the end for their patients.

Back then, you had to go out of Albany for heart operations. Gee, what a change from 1965 to 2008.

I feel for Bill and Hillary Clinton. They’ve had some good years. Time goes on a new change and it’s so very hard to step down. Leaders, listen. Your time will come and be graceful in stepping down. We must let the young ones take over and we must realize their ideas have merit, reason and ability for thoughts for the future. Take care not to stay in the “I know it all” ruts of life.
