Admitting mistakes is always a difficult thing to do, especially for leaders with revolutionary ideas. Sometimes these seemingly revolutionary ideas create more problems than they solve, including instilling fear in others who disagree. Using ideas to create a legacy can be great, as long as it's done the right way. Leading others does not allow leaders to impose their personal goals on their employees, yet some still do. In Hans Anderson's “The Emperor's New Clothes,” there is an emperor who is portrayed as obsessed with new clothes; nothing else mattered to him. “He didn't care about his soldiers in the slightest; nor did he care to go either to the theater or to the hunt, except for the opportunities then afforded him of showing off his new clothes. (Anderson) This reliance on self-interest is similar to that of our current president, Barrack Obama. However, the president's interest is health care. Even though healthcare appears to be an altruistic idea, his persistence makes it seem like his true desire is an inheritance. The emperor uses his confidence in his new clothes to instill fear in his people, which leads to their pluralistic ignorance. However, President Obama never received unconditional support for his health plans, thanks to the party system. Obama's blind followers are members of his party, who support and believe in their President unconditionally. Their desire for a legacy is honorable, but they don't truly understand the fame their product will give them. The ability to make anything happen is a privilege of leaders, sometimes this ends badly. Both leaders, in this case the Emperor and the President, have used their privilege to create what they believe is the greatest innovation of all time. The Emperor uses... half the card... n more, just like two opinions on the same topic. The Emperor and His New Clothes is a fair comparison to President Obama's Affordable Care Act, not only in its development but also in the reason for its failure. The failure of these selfish desires of a legacy as the best dressed and the biggest donor, failed because of their selfishness. Wanting an inheritance is not bad, but if it is left in the hands of others, what you wanted is never right. Works cited by Andersen, HC and Virginia Lee Burton. The emperor's new clothes.
