Congress creates and passes bills and laws. The President only has veto power. A two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate on a contentious issue. will over power the veto, or the president can not veto a bill.
Control of congress has been controlled by Democrat's since 2007. The last 2 years were just Bush being a lame duck president. Anything that passed was because the democrats voted for it. McCain could have been worse than Obama.
The swing votes for Obama were the independents. I know republicans voted for him, but the major news program have said the same thing about the independents . Throw the bums out is how I fell. I am a member of this forum
http://throwthebumsout.ning.com/ You may think I am a republican, but I am a life long registered democrat. No I did not vote for Obama. When my wife herd him speak she said she did not trust him. I have learned to trust her first judgment on people.
I will only support candidates that believe in term limits, less government, strong defense, balanced budget and things like these. The congress might need to follow Texas's example and have congress meat every other year. While I think of my self as conservative, I feel I am becoming more libertarian. Not LaRouche , but Ron Paul.
It is the parents to raise and educate their children not the government. That is why more people are home schooling their kids, sending them to private school, or church sponsored schools.
The President is not starting a good record by the bills he supports, things he has done.... Some very stupid, appointed people with out checking them out. Tax cheats, agendas that his appointed people have. Not the president's ones. I think one reason he won, is because no one wanted to vote for Bush... I heard people say that more times than you would believe. The problem, Bush was not running.
Democrat Barack Obama won the popular vote by a six-point margin of 52 to 46% for vanquished Republican rival John McCain, US networks said on Wednesday.Obama earned 62.98 million votes nationwide and McCain, 55.78 million, NBC reported. The President won by a little over 7 million votes. That means he has +55 that did not vote for him.
If you do not vote you can not complain(just my 2 cents) but yes you can. First Amendment to the United States Constitution Freedom of Speech
Who is Obama and why people do not like him?
