remember, its the presidents call to make the decision to what is best for the country, not what the mass mob demands,
i'm fine to do that when it comes to things like national security and civil rights, but when it comes to screwing with things that this country was built on, like capitalism and freedom, that is where i draw the line.
The President isn't supposed to be all powerful in any arena. We are supposed to have individual liberties that can not be infringed upon. That's the problem, is one side of the political spectrum is willing to make concessions on liberty for x, and the other side of the spectrum is willing to make concessions on y. There should be NO concessions of liberty.
You're whining that even though BO won the majority vote, it doesn't count as being representative of the majority of Americans.
GWB couldn't even win the majority vote, does that mean the majority of Americans wanted him as Pres. but couldn't be assed to make it to the polls? Good thing they had the Electoral Vote to fall back on.
I'm sure the Republicans weren't bitching and moaning when their guy got in huh? Too bad the Electoral Vote didn't bail them out this time.
Last I checked, BO still had over a 50% approval rating as well, so your whining over what the "majority of Americans" want, comes across as just that, whining.
