Political thoughts

Speak your mind on Presidents , Senators , Vice prez ... ect

Say why u hate them , say why u love them

Say whatever u think they are doing (smokin pot , an alcholic ect)

I think we can all count on hope, change, and continued bipartisanship in Washington for years to come. The spirit of President Obama and Nanci Pelosi to work for the country is beautiful and all are doing their part.


That is to ruin us.

I personally support Obama. But that's just me -expects to get quoted by someone wanting to debate-

I don't like or dislike the Current U.S.A. President, however I do not think he holds the power to do what the United States of America want him to do. Because that power lies within the senate.
President Obama just seems like a good natured unlucky guy

Haha - that's a good way to put it!

I wonder what it would be like if a rock star became president...

Depends on the rock star....

I think that Billie Joe Armstrong would make an interesting president

The oval office would be completely redecorated and the whole she-bang. The White House might just become The Anarchy House or The Punk House.

But Billie Joe's awesome all the way anyways.

I would love to redecorate the white house!!

Me too!

Arguably President Obama is a rockstar who became President. No experience, no true skills to speak of, but gosh darn it he was popular and a "brilliant" (if you can stay awake I suppose) orator. The world's biggest celebrity President. He may not have much abilities and be beholden to crazy ideologues, but gosh darn it he sure seems swell.

The true power of the United States is divided among 3 branches, the senate being half of Congress, which is one branch.

Edit: Ah, I lied. Technically, the true power of America resides in it's people.

And it seems that someone has figured out how to perfectly pull the strings of the people to get them to act exactly how they would like.

But he can't play a guitar. He's not in a band. I think she meant like, the rolling stones 'rockstar'??

I know what she meant. I was taking her point and making a point out of it that not surprisingly went over the masses heads.

The masses?? I'm the only one that answered. Was that a fat joke??

Of course.

I knew it.

From the pic I saw of you you are definitely far from fat.

Which one??

Exactly, but see Q, what you said about America's true power resides in it's citizens is absolutely true. So, all of what happens to America isn't Obama's fault. The theory of government for us is to be ruled for the people, by the people. People have the right to make changes in America, therefore not making the president completely liable for things that go wrong.

The only one I ever saw.

Oh... Yeah.
Well, I am on the slender side.

What's your point? I do blame the idiot uneducated fools who got caught up in the hype for President Obama becoming President.

But what you also ignore is that the office of the Presidency holds tremendous power, that can only be checked by the people every 4 years. And there is no denying that since President Obama has taken office the stock market has had an unbelievable drop. Well, it's not unbelievable to me since I predicted it, but to the commoners who believed all would be well, it should be. The power of the Presidency is huge, and when Congress is aligned with him there is relatively little to stop him from pushing insane agendas.

I agree, the power of America resides in the people. In fact, those were my exact words.

But the President does deserve the blame for things he messes up.

Uh, no Q the stock market has been in the toilet since before Obama was even inagurated. What happened was it had a half-meltdown in Wall-Street and people flipped out. What you're not getting is that's how a depression happens. People freak out when they're stocks begin to drop, so they sell, making the stocks pay money, making the quotes go down. That's how the last one started, and then it was in full fledged bloom when the banks in fact used the money to keep themselves from not being bankrupt. So, obviously it's not anyone's fault that Wall Street managed to have a meltdown for some reason before Obama was even president, and in fact, Obama has passed a bill for the economic stimulus restoration and recovery (or something like that, I'm actually paying attention in History class). It's not Obama's OR Bush's fault that the stocks went down. It's in fact the people's fault that they started selling like crazy.

Yes, the power of the presidency is huge, but they really only have the power to enforce laws and such, and that power alone is huge enough. Congress can't control everything. I mean, would you blame Obama if the drug trafficking became 10 times greater in his term? Hm? Coz it seems to me like you just might. Congress can't control everything within the country, so it's up to the people to help them and not blame them for every little thing that happens.

What you two argueing about THIS time?

Just a simple wonderment caused Q to say Obama is like a rock star in the sense that he was elected by popularity and saying that the stock market has been in the toilet since he was elected.

Which isn't true it was suckish long before that.
