While this passage does speak of political leaders, but primarily the religious leaders who are like dogs that are supposed to bark when they see danger. Instead the leaders have become dumb dogs who refuse to bark, but are slothful, as well as only concerned about their personal gain. How many politicians go to Washington to become millionaires while voting for budget cuts that hurt the military that is responsible for protecting the Country. Jesus warned that the leaders were blind guides, not knowing the hour of their visitation. Therefore Jesus wept over Jerusalem, and warned them their house would be left desolate. We pray that our leaders will wake up before it is too late. Will the smart dogs start barking?

The "watchmen" as described in 56:10 "...the dogs are greedy...they have turned to their own way.." vs.11. This described the politicians beginning the White House, the House and the Senate! Politicians today especially the liberal deomocrats (socialists) are only interested in their own gain and care less for the American people. Obama and the democrats have driven our economy down the tube with atleast 12 Trillion $!
