Why do people think that Presidents have All the Power

I dont understand why people are hating on Obama so much. He does not have all the power, the Legislative branch (Congress) has most of the power. Its called checks and balances. Do u know hard it is to be president? Anyone that thinks Obama is a bad president has no idea what is going on with the government. Why dont u try and be president instead of critisizing and complaining...All of this hate is unhealthy and shows how incompedent we are as people of our great nation. Please stop all this foolishness to all those that create it.

Post your thoughts and explain in thorough details why u think Obama is president and please provide facts as in why he is supposively the worst president (which he is not).
-Thank You

[quote=ZuLs]People expect too much from the president. The president only holds power in the executive branch and their powers are limited by Congress and judicial branch. It takes a LOT of time to actually pass and regulate laws and such.[/quote]

Thank You

[quote=gamemage3]why do people think thier vote matters?
if you're in one of the 40ish states that are pretty much decided, your vote doesn't do anything.
only educated people WON'T vote in this anti democratic system.[/quote]

Exactly! Voting actually doesnt matter to people in the west coast because of the time difference...and also its all up to the electoral votes, not popular votes.

It is because the way mainstream media portrays elections, you quickly forget that the presidential elections aren't the only thing going on.

Lol....Im just sick of people saying bad stuff about them...I think (just a thought, not a fact) its because he is african american and people dont like him because this country was built by rich white males...Also africans were once slaves so it is a big deal to come from that and get to the President of the USA
