POLITICAL MYTHCONSEPTIONS
Now, everyone blames the president when things go wrong in the country. I am, by no means, saying that the current occupant of the oval office isn't a complete idiot. He could not negotiate himself out of a wet bag.
HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS, WHAT A LAUGH!!!
the president is the most powerful single person in the country. That being said, congress as a whole could shoot down any of his decisions if they would just stop blaming/competing with each other. Each member is so caught up in their own party's agendas or their own personal ones (sometimes both) to really make a difference to anyone except themselves.
MONEY & POLITICS
Anywhere else, a person doesn't get paid if the work isn't done. Yet, every member of the central government can spend their time talking (whining) and not actually do what they are supposed to be doing, what they are being paid to do. Then, on top of all that, you have the lobbyists, special interest groups, and big companies with lots of money all using that money to influence our lawmakers to not do their jobs.
LASTLY
Remember, next time you want to completely blame the president ( Yes! I mean the moron with a bad toupee and spray on orange tan), thing about the hundreds of others that could stop him turning our country into a laughingstock. The ones that don't stop him because they only have their own self interest at heart.
