The Obama and Bush defending in here is lol. Obama sucks. Bush sucked. The partisan squabbling is ridiculous considering that in reality the two parties are not all that different anymore. How big of a difference do we see between a Republican administration and a Democratic one? Not much. They both keep us in perpetual war. They both grow the size of government. They both spend way too much. They both believe in Keynesian economics. They both violate the Constitution. What the fuck is the difference? Wake up.

What scares me the most is that this guy's potential changes to the constitution are so broad I agree with some of them and vehemently oppose others. A guy like this could have such a wide reach that pulls in too many votes from people who don't care to hear the whole story and only pay attention to the narrow view they like.
Or so most Americans believe, apparently. Ugh, too much stupid. I wouldn't say he has more power, just more influence. The President's sway on Congress is directly related to his approval rating, though. The lower his approval rating, the more Congress ignores him. That's the entire reason that every President has the "100 Days" thing, because that's when he's most popular. Then there's the whole "Commander and Chief" debacle. He can send troops in, but only Congress can declare war. Welp, what do you get when he sends troops in and doesn't get Congress to declare war? You get Iraq/Afghanistan. Yay.
@Paladin: Fair enough, I was just checking. The tone of your last post almost sounded like it was accusing me of being two-faced and lambasting Bush while defending Obama. I don't discriminate: I support none and lambast all.
@Zeph: Yup. This guy is a power-hungry psychopath, but, unlike Palin, he is not insane.
Hence thread title, brosef. The whole democratic system has been fucked for a few decades now. It's one big circle-jerk.Originally Posted by king_nothing_
