Idiocy rampant in huge swaths of the American populace?

"large majorities of voters believe the president has considerable sway on issues such as inflation, interest rates, the federal deficit, taxes and more. Fully three-quarters believe the president has at least some influence over health care costs. And 69 percent can see the president making gasoline prices go up or down."

Most of us are quite unable to lose weight or save more money, but we just know that a new Daddy will do some of this other stuff for us?

Another presidential term for the Clintons represents “change”? A change “back” maybe but nothing “new” except more of the same in overdrive.

Call it optimism with a cynical streak. Or cynicism with an optimistic streak.

Call it what it really is: Stoopid.

(And yes, I really DO know how to spell stupid)

Notice how reference to solving a priority issue, illegal immigration, was buried in reference.

A President cannot effect major change without the support of congress. And Congress will never change because they are working for certain goals detrimental to national sovergnity.

The only thing congress is capable of changing on a regular basis is their underwear. or the stench would overpower global warming and incite the people into removing the smell at whatever cost necessary.

According to a new Associated Press-Yahoo! News survey, large majorities of voters believe the president has considerable sway on issues such as inflation, interest rates, the federal deficit, taxes and more. Fully three-quarters believe the president has at least some influence over health care costs. And 69 percent can see the president making gasoline prices go up or down.

Well, presidents do have the power to make these things much worse. They don't have much power to make them better.
