This has nothing to do with "OMG BAD SOCIALISTS!" and us becomming like that shithole UK.

The sooner people realize that the sooner we can run these fucks out of power and try again. Sadly, I don't think people will ever realize that or nut up, so its a moot point.
I totally agree 100%.
Look at this.
Federal government of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"President
Main article: President of the United States
The Executive branch consists of the President and delegates. The President is both the head of state and government, as well as the military commander-in-chief (only when called into actual military services), chief diplomat and chief of party. The President, according to the Constitution, must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." The President presides over the executive branch of the federal government, a vast organization numbering about 4 million people, including 1 million active-duty military personnel. The current president is Barack Obama.
The President may sign legislation passed by Congress into law, or may veto it, preventing it from becoming law unless two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to override the veto. The President may, with the consent of two-thirds of the Senate, make treaties with foreign nations. The President may be impeached by a majority in the House and removed from office by a two-thirds majority in the Senate for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The President may not dissolve Congress or call special elections, but does have the power to pardon, or release, criminals convicted of offenses against the federal government (except in cases of impeachment), enact executive orders, and (with the consent of the Senate) appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges."
Obama really doesnt pass any laws. He has the authority to sign them into law and veto them. Thats it. Congress and Senate makes the laws. Those people are the crooks and the lobbyists that pay them for their endorsements are what is, for lack of a better phrase, making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
As far as signing bills into law by the president, the president has cabinet members and officials that basically inform the president of what he should do. That being said, I know most of you have spoken to lawyers and they do have a particular way how they word things to make something sound much, MUCH better than it actually is. Politicians do the same thing.
I hate politicians in general but as far as Obama goes, he was the lesser of two evils. I know everyone likes to bitch about how tax and the welfare system works but I am part of that group that doesnt make enough money to pay for all their expenses. My girlfriend and I barely have enough to pay the bills and to top it off, she is pregnant. We are going to have to pay $240 every two weeks just for health insurance on her and the baby, that being said, anything that keeps me from paying more into the government is what Im going to go with.
