President Barack Obamais not a manager nor CEO. He is only a Executive, which is why the President of a Democracy is always called the Executive of the United States, because that's how little power they highest office has.

Bush had a Republican Control Congress until 2007, and then Bush had to Veto all new stuff that Congress was passing on their own during the last 2 years of Bush's Presidency.

The way you keep talking about the position of the President of the United States of America is called Communism, but America is not a Communist Country, no matter how you wish for a Communist System in America just so the President can get passed whatever he or she (Hillary Clinton) wants to get it pass.

So please stop with this communist philosophy of how you want this country to run like for this current moment in time.

Besides, Barack has recently gotten rid of the Super-Majority vote, which means he now only needs more then 50% of the vote in any House, to get anything pass, so it's now much more easier for him to get things pass, then it use to be just a month ago.

You should just call your local Congress & Senators and demand they vote for Obama's bills, to pressure them to do so, because it works when enough people call.

He basically created the template that a black president will spend more time on speeches and maintaining his image in the media rather than actually getting anything done. Personally I am torn because I am not sure if white folks will trust another colored president until after the sour taste of this one is all but forgotten and if that is truly the case it's only going to mean states or the country as a whole will miss out on potentially good statesmen out there.

What did it for me outside of seeing the utter train wreck that is Obamacare was that entirely repugnant beer summit between a police officer and a older man regarding what the president called a stupid act.

The leader of the free world
Crumbling economy
Millions unemployed
Tens of millions more on food stamps and housing assistance

Decided to have a beer summit to showcase his charm and ability to bring people together.

What the #%!? are we in? Grade school?

You're pretty much spot-on. Despite often being thought of as the most powerful person in the country, the President actually can't create any laws, and there's very little he can do unilaterally. He can say "I'll promise you X, Y, and Z," but regardless of whoever is President they can't fulfill their promises even if they wanted to unless the Congress actually puts a bill on his desk that he can sign into law, and the way Congress is right now they're extremely unproductive as a legislative body. In fact, this is perhaps the least productive Congress in history due to all the gridlock. It's always easiest to blame the President because he's the most high-profile politician in the country, but Congress bears perhaps the most blame. The President's powers are delineated in Article II of the U.S. Constitution, and as you'll see most of what he can do requires the approval of Congress. If Obama is guilty of anything, it's doing what most politicians do: promising things that they can't possibly fulfill on their own, if at all.

he hasnt helped to make congress work either. although he cant make law, he can sure influence his party, and influence the populace. but insteading of trying to bridge the gap and compromise, all he offers is doing it his way or the highway. look at how he has bypassed congress with the aca and its deadlines. what other president has done that? as far as i know its not even legal. but instead of working with congreess and extending deadlines, he says he will veto any change that congress makes to extend deadlines. and instead trys to do it outside the system. so while he doesnt control congress he still has some powers over them, and he has not used them to bridge the gap between dems and repubs, but insteead made the gap bigger. I think in 10-20 years, he will be remembered as one of the worst presidents, that made the divide between the upper, middle, and lower classes bigger, and created more class warefare instead of less.
