Answer 1

The right president may very well be able to stop the downward spiral, but the damage is done. It's just like fuel prices going down only pennies when the crude price drops dramatically. What's done is done. Our society of moral relativity is rapidly being eaten away by this cancer of doing what feels good. Anyone remember the fall of the Roman empire? It's only a matter of time. The president alone hasn't the power to make such great changes required to turn us around. He/or she would need the unanimous support of the House and Senate. I can't say I see that one happening. It really sucks that our children are going to inherit the problems of today, and worse yet, they will inherit the problems of tomorrow.

Answer 2

that's a big plate full.

Answer 3

People who think politicians can solve economic problems are stupid. Politicians/government basically have the worse business record that there is.

Answer 4

I don't think ANY president can make or break this great country. I believe Congress has much more influence. If the USA were a democracy, things might be different, maybe. But we are a Republic, and we use the electoral vote. That's why it's sooooooooo much more important to talk, call, email, write your Reps and Senators to figure out if they really think the way you think! I'm very cynical and believe MOST politicians suck. I also think it's my right and privilege to vote so I try to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Or locally it's usually the lesser of 3 or 4 evils.

My moto: Don't vote...don't b---h.

p.s. i believe in grass roots which is more local politics. Have you ever attended your school board meeting? We need watchdogs to keep those b-----ds in line. Simply showing up @ their meetings and just listening, not even talking, sometimes makes them VERY nervous. I think they're of the assumption that most people don't give a s--t, so when someone is paying attention to them, they want to know your name, where you work, why are you there, etc. I usually say Mrs. (my last name) and won't give them my first name and just tell them I'm a taxpayer, which I am. That's all they need to know. I've also told them I was listening to write a piece for the local paper, and then I put it in the Editor's Notes. I'd love to see more people just go watchdog these people that have so much control over OUR money! Sorry, I'll step off the box now.
