<p>I’m personally hoping they just don’t screw things up worse than they already are. I view the POTUS like a major league baseball manager. They can lose you a whole lot more games than they’ll win for you. You want someone that knows how to stay out of the way of the economy because, barring them getting us into unforseen wars, they have very little to do with the economy. The one good think I’ll say about Clinton is that he knew when to sit tight and do nothing (or let the intern take care of things 
). Congress still controls most of what happens and for whatever reason they continue to receive free passes for about as long as I can remember.</p>
<p>I am with pmrlcomm</p>
<p>Congress is in the control, our President is nothing more than a figure head that takes the heat for anything wrong with country.</p>
<p>Prime Examples:
- Bush’s fault for 9/11, even though Senate Intelligence had the same info!
- Bush brought us into the war, even though the Senate Intelligence had the same briefs.
- Bush’s fault for immigration, even though the Senate has yet to put a bill on the desk
- Bush’s administration caused the problems for housing, even though the Senate has an oversight committee with HUD
- Bush’s fault for dragging us into the war causing the gas prices to increase, but the Senate refuses to end the drilling moratorium while, Russia and China in the near future can drill 30 miles off of the Florida coast.</p>
<p>All you hear about how Bush has the lowest approval rating ever, but the ironical part is his approval rating is higher than the Senate or Congress…I believe I read just last week the Congressional approval rating is at 9% compared to 16 for Bush.</p>
<p>Presidents have less influence on our daily life than Congress. </p>
<p>Like I said I will vote for McCain, but it is no sweat off of my back if Obama wins…I just don’t see the President as a true factor on how our country is run.</p>
<p>Bless our ForeFathers for creating the check and balance system!</p>
