This thread sucks.

Anyone that thinks the President actually makes a difference is naive. This country is governed by special intrest groups and rich white men that work from the shadows to protect their own rich white asses. The President doesn't really have enough power to make a difference anymore, because you have to be such a "team player" (aka puppet) just to get a nomination from your party. So pick *any* one of the them, it matters not. It will take *serious* changes in our election process (i.e. abolishing the 2 party system, and pooling *all* campaign finances for *all* candidates) before we have a President with some balls that can make a difference (like FDR, or Lincoln, or Kennedy, etc). For now we're stuck with the Presidential equivalent of Britney Spears, a person manufactured by Corporate America to help them make more money.

Damn I'm jaded today.
