How much hate would the president get if people in the United States actually understood how their government works?

Politely ask them some basic questions on their knowledge of government.

Examples would include: How are laws passed? What are the three branches of government? What power does the executive branch of government hold? What are the various decision types that the supreme court can make? What are the different roles of the House and senate? and so on........

This has nothing to do with partisan politics. It doesn't matter if they're bashing Bush, Obama, Clinton, or Reagan. You will find that more often than not, these individuals have no clue how our government works.

I've found that educated people bash the president as well, but you will rarely hear someone with a decent knowledge of government go on and on about the president's failures, as they realize the president is just a piece of the puzzle.


And yes, this is me making fun of people on this board

Right now, we're getting a clinic in Washington about how not to do government, and that's being duly demonstrated by the alleged Executive branch.
