Reply #37: You misunderstand who you voted for I'm afraid..... [View All]

..... the man is simply not going to demand the Congress bend to his will because he's the President. I believe he has a different take on the meaning of Article 1 of the Constitution than you do .... (and Dick Cheney does for that matter.)

That's a part of the change you probably heard about.

The result is that he is not going to try to bend the House and Senate to his will .... legislation may not be as progressive or be passed as quickly as all of us like .... but it will be passed.

And it is that desire for concensus that, I believe, has resulted in China and Russia voting to censure Iran on Friday. (Something that has barely registered on the DU radar.)

The man has a different approach to governing ..... I dont know why you voted for him, but that is one of the reasons why I did.
