    How many times will we hear this platitude about transformation. Let's admit it, President Sirleaf is neither a transformational leader leader nor interested in transforming Liberia. Her lips speak of things she is incapable of doing. Frankly, she has failed us! She amplifies jingo like "war corruption, transformation, new beginning, development, transparency", but allows her appointees to do exactly what she professes to disdain. President Sirleaf is best described as a Narcissistic leader.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
