I completely disagree. It is not that a president can not get these things done it is that we have yet to have a president that knows how to wield power and is not afraid of being called names when he wields that power.

The president of the United States has a vote that is equal to 268 leggisl;ators. 1 greater than half the 535 members of the House and Senate. A President that is willing to shut everything down and knock the whole house of cards down could effectively get anything he wants done. He simply has to use the power of the Veto and executive orders.

A smart ruthless leader could get all manner of cutting and spending reforms done. Most of which would be embarrassed by just enough members of the congress to help him get it done.

Look at all the Community Dis organizer has done to destroy the country in only two years.

Well then, let’s hope he gets elected and see what he can do.
