PM of the Nation ???

I quite often tell my project managers that PM is quite a powerful role. Don’t act like post masters. Add some value to the job and the role what you play.
As a captain of the ship you need to steer the ship, give directions. Ensure project is delivered in time, within budget keeping the customers satisfied.
If mistakes happen, always have a backup plan, take corrective measures. Quickly get into act, perform the root cause analysis and fix the problem.
I guess these are the principles taught to every Project Manager before he gets ready for the role and moves into the assignment.

But the very basic principle seems to be violated when it comes to the PM of my own nation.

Yesterday's Media Conference was very disappointing. Till date I had high regards for the PM's Chair. But he has made mockery of the role. The PM of the world's largest democracy can't be so lame.
1> PM doesn’t seem to be in a position to run the country effectively. He can’t work with his team.
2> IN last 2 years I have hardly seen any discussions about new projects, investments or execution strategy. Rather it's one scam after another.
3> There seems to be no accountability, no responsibility and no responsibility.

He is still covering up the wrong doings of the ministers? Why? He doesn’t want to take responsibility. Blaming others for what had happened. He is not fixing the problems and he doesn’t want to step down also.

And we all including me seem to be quite helpless looking at the state of the conuntry. If Egypt could overthrow the dictator who ruled for 30 years, why can't I make the difference?
