Goodbye Will Twain: A ratfucker unmasked

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. You know, I do not blame most people for thinking

that Presidents can do all they believe they can do. And if you listen to a few of the regulars here, yes, the president can do a lot of shit, that he cannot do, and the focus on the presidency is like insane.

I blame the fact that imperial presidencies are more powerful than they used to be. Fun fact, before FDR Congress was the focus of national elections, not the presidency. That started to change in the post war era, and really became what it is these days with Kennedy.

I also blame the media. We do a pretty poor job in explaining how any of this works, (mind you some of my local political reporters have no idea either... ah some of the stories I can tell). That said, I just wanted to leave this as a point of discussion, thought even.

Now back to work with me. And if people stopped hating each other we might actually get somewhere as a people... but that is a whole different kettle of fish, not appropriate, ironically, for a political partisan board.
