a take off on this cartoon, which was not controversial to anyone with an above room temperature IQ:
Congress wrote the Porkulus bill, not Obama! Unless you want to find some hidden antipathy for Pelosi and Reid in this cartoon, likening the Post cartoonist to a Klansman was not just over the top, it was idiotic!

There is a clear consistency here. Many people, too many, believe legislation is written by the executive branch, he can suggest legislation but that's the limit of his authority in the matter until said legislation reaches his desk for approval.
ReplyDeleteDuring the portion of my lifetime that I have paid any attention to politics most people have blamed the president for the actions of congress. These people get to vote.
Here's an idea. Since electronic voting machines are the norm these days, how about having to correctly answer 7 or more out of 10 questions for each category on the ballot, answer less than 7 correctly say for the presidential ballot you're locked out of that category. Disenfranchise the dumb!
"Disenfranchise the dumb!" Unfortunately, the folks who would have to vote to change the law would be disqualifying themselves! Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen!
