Unfortunately, being the President of the USA is not a dictator position.
The president doesn't have the sole power to get things done.
The congress is useless, the Republicans are out to destroy my President and
undermine hime at all costs.
The Democrats do nothing. (as usual).
He's alone stuck between two political parties that just want t o argue.
I want the money back that we are all paying Congress.
They aren't doing the job that we hired them for, so I want my money back.
They make enough money from the banks and big corporations anyway.

It is first and foremost a leadership problem that is crippling America—and the leader is President Barack Obama—not the many members of Congress."

I'm not thrilled with Obama right now but I do blame Congress and their inability to comprimise
