Its about being the most professional man in the USA. I expect them to rule the country to the extent of the powers they are endowed with. Unfortunately the things a president does or decides are not completely comprehensible to average people. I think youre average joe will go insane if he sat down and chatted with the president about the decision he makes, they'd have to pat him on the back and lead him out the door to go babble outside. Since his election Obama has been the most threatened president in history (CNN at some point said that). I dont expect people to get the president, not even Bush, I dont think he was the brightest bulb but he had a vantage point for much of his life, unfortunately I personally believe he was intellectually a dull knife not capable of truly leading. I like Obama, however tactfully approaching ruling the american people when they are increasingly divided as elections pass, when the right has segregated itself to its own news tv station, etc. Its a harder job than it was a few years ago. Bush was an invalid president... half the country still believes in Obama pretty much (I dont know the exact numbers atm I dont particularly care to look) but thats to be literally expected, political science has found that politics are increasingly polarised in the US as time goes by. He's our president atm. People can sit back, foam at the mouth and deal with it, just like they can deal with a false war, the crippled economy, and the debt and destroyed reputation the last administration left us to inherit.
