Hey I thought we were electing a president, not a king who decides
everything for america. I was sitting here thinking about all the crap I been hearing from the pube heads and I don't understand this if Obama gets in the whole country will be anti white, wtf? A president doesn't have that kind of power, oh sure with * and the rubber stamp congress the power of the president has increased, but even then the president can not tell congress I want you do it, unless its when all 3 branches of government is controled by republicans.

Hell we are democrats, we can't agree on what color wall paper should be, this election year crap is about the only time democratic elected public servents ever stand together. Unlike the pubes, who march lock step behind their fearful leader with right arm extended singing praise to the father land. So I am at a loss at these doom and gloom, race makes a difference pin head talk. It makes no sense as Obama has more power in the senate then he will have as president.

Oh sure, Obama can shape america's policies, but without the approvel of both house's of congress and the SCOTUS, his powers are limited. Is this another example of pubes not paying attention in civics class and they actally think the president is all powerful? How stupid can americans get, never mind the last 40 years have shown how stupid americans are, every time they elect a pube to protect them from the evil boogeyman, it shows how stupid they are.
