Who do you plan to vote for?

If you ever really think about it, the most important officials that we elect are our Congress members. That's where the real control is. The president primarily serves as a figurehead for our government.

Yeah, thank goodness only Congress can approve the US going to war! I mean, wow, just think of what could happen if one person, like the president, had the ability to make the decision to send our troops into other countries to fight.

Yeah, the President just does fluffy stuff like appoint members of the Supreme Court, an out-dated Mo-town group. So what if he has veto power over congressional legislation; our guys in congress will muster that two thirds majority to over-ride the veto, no problemo. Maybe we should just get George Jr. a pipe and a Corgi, harmless old duffer that he is. What in the world ARE they teaching in our schools these days? No. Don't answer.
