Presidential question?

Liberals reject the constitution. So your words are empty to them.

AMEN! Preach it brother! For those who have bothered to read the US Constitution know the President is responsible for enforcement of laws passed by the Legislature. The President does not spend a penny the Legislature has not previously authorized. The President does not control the economy or the price of crude or anything else. The President nominates member of the Supreme Court but they have to be approved by Congress. And the President does not have the power to remove sitting judges.

The problems we have in this country today are more the fault of the voters than the people who are elected. Voters are returning people to Congress who aren't doing their job. Voters are sending people to DC for the wrong reasons. They are sending them there so they can get government to spend money on them and never stopping to think about who is going to pay the tab.

It seems there was once a President who said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country", and the people praised him. To hear the current candidate from that party talk you'd think they were from different parties.

Very true, but the pres directs and leads congress, and the nation. Unfortunately the system of checks and balances put in place has lost its bite. If we had some real leaders in place that would vote with the people not along party lines then we would see some of this so called change talked about in the election. The current 2 party system just doesnt have the back bone and is so far out of touch with the American people that the US govt is a joke. The founding father would revolt if they saw todays America.

I agree totally with you. Who the President of the United States is has no effect on my personal happiness or state of mental well being. I refuse to grant that power to anyone and I alone assume accountability for my own life. I'd just as soon my government forgets that I exist.

And as to McCain changing Supreme Court rulings or Obama fixing all the problems of the world - that's just not reality and to even depend on either to do so is holding your own mind and happiness in contempt. Utter foolishness.

Our economy is suffering because of the aforementioned "I want it all and I want it now and I want it cheap cheap cheap" mentality. We do not invest in quality and ignore value while focusing on price. This leads to a throwaway society who demand more, waste more and spend more on credit, an increasing amount of which never gets repaid. Workers are also demanding more pay and perks and less hours worked, leading to a productivity problem which costs businiesses countless billions of dollars per year.

Add to our economic problems the housing crisis brought on by greedy flippers, ill educated home buyers and fueled by unscrupulous banks. In short - we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Moderation seems to be a word that has been rejected by modern society.

If this country is to be fixed and put back on the right path, then "We the People" will have to do it. I believe we can and we will.

I get your Point, But I would like to make this one. Under the Bush administration, Presidential power has grown exponentially. None of the other Branches checked him, he never leveled with the American people,and civil liberties shrank. The executive branch became everything our forefathers ran away from, We need someone that won't continue the erosion of that position and will restore the President back to being an Employee of the people, Rather than the sovereign entity separate and above the people that it has become.

i agree completely...want to blame someone for a bad economy..look in the mirror..buying gasoline or diesel and cheap stuff from china and other foriegn countries destroys the economy more than anything a president does..a presidents job is to protect the country and collect the taxes to do that and print and manage the money. Everything else is a perversion of what the president is all about.

you're wrong about that. the government is broken b/c our leaders don't have the courage to stand up for what we elected them to do!

They're the ones who allow banksters to become wealthy, to allow judges to legislate from the bench, to allow perversion of every kind in our society.

Don't blame the average joe, we're trying dude.

Now, go out and vote for McCain b/c the alternative is totally unacceptable.

The president is just a figure to put on TV I know that the subcontractors Congress make all the decisions hahahah

But when the economy is good, you praise Bush. When it goes sour, you get on the band wagon as you just did.

You're right. This country is falling because the people are Lazy and Immoral.
