6. With all the people deciding what Obama should do, including the morning talking heads and all,
why did we bother to elect him? I mean did we elect a puppet who's stings we are controlling or did we elect a President who has a brain and the ability to think for himself?

Everyday now the rant is Obama isn't doing the right thing. Do you really expect him to take a poll day in and day out to see what to do today?

I would think we would want to look for the results of his actions rather than decide what they will be before they happen.

I can just see him in the oval office turning on Morning Joe to check out the opinions of the talking heads. "Oh my God! Mika thinks I did the wrong thing last night! I better have the press secretary give a couple of Mea Culpas today."
