White Wrote:Why? He's a complete imbecile. I don't think he has a leadership bone in his body. He's charismatic (less so now), and that's about it. Terrible decision maker. He has thrown this country completely under the bus in less than a full term. The prospect of 5 more years with this buffoon in office is enough to scare me. If the previous two and a half years are any indication of what this guy does in office, there won't be a USA by the end of his second term.You seem to have some huge misconception that the president of the USA actually has a lot of power. Almost all the power is in congress, but many Americans forget this and put all the blame on the president who can't do diddly-squat about the real dipchips running the country. All Obama does is officialize, mandate, propose and veto. Congress, creates, alters, manages, passes and basically does everything for the country. If it weren't for some semi-important powers he held, the president would be nothing more than a figurehead.
