because the percieved power of the President of the US is extremely overrated. I look at the position of the Presidency and equate it to that of the NFL Quarterback. If the team loses, who catches the majority of the blame? They lead so they blamed when things go wrong, which is the case for many leaders, whether in business, sports, or government.

There are many people to blame for the climate of our country, not just the President...eventhough he has been a poor president.
