We Have a President, Not a King

7. Contrary to the Obama-Dislikers on this site, I'm not an Obama-worshipper, either.

In fact, I've been deeply disappointed in a lot of things he's done and is doing. But I refuse to pile on him in a time when the real enemies of the State are Republicans, Libertarians, and their narrow-minded enablers who are affecting me and mine in our daily lives - even to the point that their temper-tantrum from last October has delayed my obligation to file my taxes for two weeks.

I understand exactly just how much power a president actually has - and it ain't as much as some on this site believe him to have, i.e., what a king or a dictator would have.

For me, as a taxpayer, a mother, a wife, an American citizen, a homeowner, and a minority voter, the true power of the U.S. Gov't lies with Congress. Our president is only the most powerful man in the world when it comes to military might, but when it comes to domestic policy, Congress, not the president, is the omnipotent power in our gov't.

I wish more Americans understood that salient fact.
