• While a POTUS does have a bully pulpit to push his agenda, I think it a sad state of affairs when voters believe a POTUS has to 'care' about personal issues of citizens. Why? Because it treats the electorate like children, and that's not a POTUS' job. Issues like economic policy, nat'l defense, foreign affairs, budget matters, and SCOTUS appointments are just about all the Constitutional concerns assigned to a POTUS. 'Boutique' personal issues are best left to the states or local govt., which can be much more effective - and accountable - than a gynormous federal bureaucracy thousands of miles away.

• $16 TRILLION nat'l debt and climbing. 8.4% unemployment and climbing. $880 BILLION shovel ready stimulus - that wasn't quite shovel ready (chuckle, chuckle) U.S. credit rating DOWNGRADED. 3+ years since the democrat controlled senate passed a budget. $90 BILLION flushed down the bankrupt green energy toilet to benefit cronies. Exec. privilege shields U.S. Attorney General held in contempt of Congress during Fast n Furious investigation. CBO warns of fiscal cliff - yet sitting POTUS does nothing. It's a curious phenomenon: When liberals / democrats won't compromise or 'moderate' their views, these liberals / democrats are often characterized as 'progressive' or 'pragmatic' - champions of the little guy. When a conservative / republican won't compromise or 'moderate' their views, these conservatives / republicans are often characterized as 'partisan' or 'bigots' - lap dogs for eebil rich people. I sure hope something changes.
