that would depend on which side of MSNBC your on wouldn't it? If what you say is true that Obama cant get any blame then he gets no praise when things go good right?

The point is that for those of us who live in the real world instead of some sort of paranoid nightmare fantasyland, the president's powers are limited. Great, to be sure, but he is not omnipotent. He cannot control the weather. He cannot ensure a good harvest. He is not God.

I never watch television. I couldn't care less what anyone on MSNBC or Fox or any other TV channel says. I'm participating on this board, and so are you, and at the moment -- since I'm engaging you in conversation -- I care what you say. You and nobody else. Not MSNBC. Not anyone. And YOU are implying that President Obama is omnipotent and can ensure a bountiful harvest purely by willpower. Certainly not by presidential authority, since he has none applicable to the situation, for good or ill.

Because unless he is omnipotent and has (and has misused) God-like powers, this entire thread is an exercise in sheer absurdity.
