I'm with this guy. I did not vote, because it's a trap.gimmesometruth27 said:i have no idea what you are asking here.
since obama got elected our federal leadership has disappeared because the republicans will not work with him. obama says "the sky is blue" and they say "we aren't sure but instead of looking into it and coming to a consensus, we are going to sue your muslim ass."0 -

you seem to be fairly good handle on civics, but do you know what a filibuster is and how it works? nobody can get anything passed once the filibuster is enacted.
pelosi passed a jobs bill in the house. filibustered in the senate.

The reason I didn't vote was because I define the nation's leadership as all 3 branches. This has something to do with my working knowledge of the Constitution. Congress and the SC have failed us many times. Obama has been powerless to stop the charade of do nothing. I hope one of the SC justices retires soon so this great country can go back to having a separation of church and state.8/29/00*5/2/03*7/2/03*7/3/03*7/11/03*9/28/04*5/24/06*6/28/08*5/15/10*5/17/10* 10/16/13*10/25/13* 4/28/16*4/28/16*8/5/16*8/7/16 EV 6/15/11 Brad 10/27/020

I don't think leadership qualities factor into he gets elected to POTUS anymore. You just need to look good in front of a camera, by able to fund raise, and be able to lie with a straight face. And you have be a narcissist and out of your mind to want the job in the first place.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

spot on....JimmyV said:I would argue that of the three branches of our government, leadership is at its current best in the Executive. The Legislative and Judicial branches are both disasters right now. Obama might not be perfect but his leadership far outshines that of Boehner, Reid, or Roberts.
