I agree with the following reservation. Military issues aside, citizens would probably have to guess who the president is if the feds respected their constitutionally limited powers; mainly delivering the mail (1.8.7) where domestic issues are concerned.
It would also help if citizens were being taught about the federal governments limited powers.
With all due respect Erik Latranyi, please consider the following. Mr. Cook is not stupid. He was not only hired by Jobs, but I understand that he actually ran the company for years before Jobs was gone.
In fact, I understand that when he knew that his end was near, Jobs strongly urged urged Apples board to make Mr. Cook CEO. And anybody who knows a little about visionionary / perfectionist Steve Jobs knows that his endorsement of Cook as CEO of the company that he helped to establish was a major compliment for Mr. Cook.
But Ill also add that Mr. Cook unsurprisingly seems to be among the seemingly vast majority of US citizens who have evidently never been properly taught about the significance of 10th Amendment protected state powers versus constitutionally enumerated rights, particularly since freedom of religious expression is one of those enumerated rights, the states having never amended the Constitution to expressly protected so-called gay rights.
