Trevor Monreal said: Well...I have a big problem with his response.
I must expect more from a POTUS.
Whether in the context I quoted from, whether on the right or on the left, the most powerful person in the world should not be helpless. He/she needs to get the job done.
But hey, those are my expectations...
Trevor what are your suggestions then? The president because of the importance placed on the 3 branches of government does not have absolute power. Even when he does things to lead because of the stalemate in congress through recess appointments (which President Bush did as well), or executive powers, he gets vilified.
His first year in office he has other elected officials stating they are wanting to make him a "One Term President" It seems in my opinion it is what the republicans want, if they don't get it they won't support it. Quite honestly he proposes ideas, even ideas that at one time the right supported, and because he proposed them they will not support them? Recently I can see the president seems to have dug his heels in a little more then in the past.
Hey the democrats haven't been perfect either, so I'm open to the debate, just don't see much of any.
