"He stands for change".
WHAT CHANGE!?
Frankly I'm so sick of hearing that when NO ONE wants to explain what he is going to do to change things. Even Obama has never explained what he plans to do if elected.
The way laws are written and passed is not done in the White House. Yes, the President can influence his agenda to get something he wants however he does not write the laws nor passes them - Congress and Senate does. The President's power is limited while at the same time is very powerful.
In order to end the so-call war in Iraq, it will take time and money. He can't just recall everyone at one time without there being serious repercussions.
He can't fix the health care system because that is up to each state.
He can't fix Social Security since that takes Congress and Senate to fix.
He can't remove or add anyone to the Supreme Court, at this time, because no one is retiring or retired so all of Bush's appointment will remain until they retire or die.
He can't change the IRS since that too takes Congress and Senate to change.
He can't raise or lower taxes without repercussions and it's still handled by Congress and Senate.
He can't force oil companies to lower their prices. That takes Congress and Senate to investigate.
So what can he do to change things? Absolutely nothing. Same with Hillary and McCain. Yes he can appoint people to do his bidding in order to get his agendas through but if things do not work out well what do you think will happen during the next elections for new Senators and Congressmen? It will swing back to the Republicans and we'll be at a stalemate again and he will be a "lame duck President".
Again, he (and any politician) can promise to do this or that but it takes more then promises to get the job done. It's nothing but empty words with nothing but a lack of experience to back him up.
