That's too bad. However, it suggests ignorance of American politics more than it suggests that the man has done a bad job in any way. It's easy to get caught up in the "leadership" aspect of his role when you are used to "dictatorship" or is the norm around you. Here, some, certainly not all, of us know that being a U.S. President does not mean that everything goes your way. In fact, this man has had to butt heads with the rest of our government on numerous occasions. He can't just will a better world into existence, but I genuinely believe he hopes for one and will do his best while in office.
Well said and I completely agree. The US government is almost inert. The division of powers was supposed to support stability. It has done that in spades. Between the structural aspects which work against change in this country there is also the mindset of so many who regard politics as a sporting event. They care much more about how successful the two parties appear to be than they do about how the country and its people do. We are so screwed.
