Why do you blame The President?

This is more of a rant than a question but feel free to post responses; the following may insult your intelligence, beliefs, etc.

Upon browsing this section of Yahoo! Answers i've found many VERY biased things about our current President. I'm sure you all have something better to do. I see answers to questions that weren't even aimed at the president being blamed on him. to quote one person "Yes, Under Bush Gas was 1.90 a gallon and milk was 2.25 a gallon, ROMNEY 2012!"

Are you aware that in the past 12 years the number of cattle has plummeted in order to increase the price of beef and needless to say in the past 12 years the rapid growth of other countries has brought up the price of oil? I'm not sure if you all are just too simple to understand that rises in prices aren't the PRESIDENTS doing he's not sitting in office saying "Yeah, Lets make milk $3 a gallon, and gas $4 a gallon, That'll teach them!" If anything it's big businesses doing, They're out to make as much money as possible, Why do you think they moved all of their manufacturing plants overseas where child, forced, and slave labor is allowed?

Are you not aware that politicians can be bought nowadays? Lobbyists pay off your representatives, That's right, The people YOU vote for, in order to make a quick buck (on average a 2200% increase in their investment) that means that the person (republican, democrat, etc) that you voted for will lower taxes, make laws, and pass bills for corporations to "create jobs" (which they're not doing by the way) by cutting the corporations tax rates and raising yours, but this is all the PRESIDENTS fault right? He's doing all of this to Joe Schmoe in Smithtown right? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. We as AMERICANS, not democrats, republicans, or any other party should complain to, pay, and hassle our representatives until they understand what WE want and not what corporations want.

Do you honestly think that even if another guy DID get elected things would change? Here's your answer! No, If anything with the amount of cutting some of the republicans want to do they'll just hurt the average american! Do you really want to change things in this country? Write your representative, tell them what you want, and make sure it's strongly worded!

That is all, if you have any complaints, bigoted responses, misinformed responses, etc. Leave them below and i'll be sure to call you out on it.

Thanks.

    The problem is not the president.

    The root of the issue is that three very important factors to the U.S. Constitution have been abused.

    Tolerance, Privacy, and the Elastic clause.

    Through the constant battery of cries for security, being welfare to warfare the country has become an entitlement state. The real spirit of the american dream of freedom and personal choice have been degraded with the lack of self-reliance and personal responsibility. Through the effect of social "control" or just naturally growing up within any environment certain skills are developed. The rat race of life. Although most believe that a dirt framer may be come a million in truth the control of the market through tax and or law will prevent such without a sponsorship of help. thus the engagement of a certain clique becomes mandatory. Be it "Republican or Democrat" there is no differences in the social operation, thus the services provided is the equivalent of "robbing peter to pay paul." e.g. public schools and or private schools both will create profit creating something out of nothing either through taxes or revenue, and the quality is based only on the amount of money provided. Many public schools system are better solely because the increased property value drives out the "riff-raff" Who gets the money is either the state or company. "peter or paul" In either event the social operation of the hierarchy to become successful in either case requires the same sponsorship. Multiple industries, private or public, will create the same equation not in american, but worldwide in every stage of history.

    If your born poor you will stay poor or else gather friends to gain a foot in the door so your children can create better friends. As so the amount of money is finite so this the distance from such collection of wealth. Refer: 6 degrees of separation, which all are connected, thus closing the gap from the outside edge of wealth to the inside not only creates a different reality through possibility expressed through quantum physics, but same goes for all materialization. if you know nothing about Target, but your friend knows someone who knows someone etc. further down the line statistically decreases the ability to every even see a Target, or even hear about one.

    President Obama and all others are very similar and only vary in their "degrees" of friends that shift power. So if just if your looking for a true representative of the people, you are a fool who believes in a concept of Utopia which in Greek is roughly a good place that cannot be.

    In that the only power wielded is power of perception, and the digits of wealth is measure with paper ask your self as you trade your time for money, where does that money, that time, your life go?

    this is the conception of the 1%, but that is only a cry that you have no power.

    In the Perception of social collection what is being advertised? and Why? Who gets the say of right and wrong? What is censored? What is truth and history? Your fear of real freedom and liberty is the division of this country. Your inherit belief that the game is rigged and your "busy" schedule of apathy.

    The blame is not the President, the blame is yours.

    Are you trying to tell me that the President does not set the prices? Why would you say such a thing. Anyone who has a grade school education knows that is not correct - However, by the time they are through their 9th grade they have learned better.

    It is amazing how people seem to think the President is responsible for everything bad but never seem to want to applaud him for what is good. So much of what we hear today about President Obama is just reiterations of sound bites from radical radio and TV talk show hosts and cronies from the Republican party who have made their primary mission over the last three years as Creating failure in Washington D.C.! At the cost of national recovery many in the Republican Party have spent more time and energy on their "mission of failure" than they have on doing anything that would help America get passed the mess we are in!

    The President has very little authority to get much done as it takes the COngress and Senate to pass bills. If you have paid attention you will have seen that regardless of what President Obama does or says he is criticized by the Talk Show hosts as being wrong. It would make no difference which way he turned they would make an issue out of it. Most Americans have come to expect negative comments from the Republicans in Congress and the Senate. They refuse to support anything that would get us out of the mess we are in if it meant the Obama Administration getting any credit for what he does!

    We know - honestly we do know - we are supposed to believe every thing the Hannity and Limpbaugh say (how do they put it - If you believe anything differently than I tell you you are wrong.) but most people are intelligent enough to get the facts themselves and only tune into Hannity and Limpbaugh for laughs; kind of like watching reruns of the the Jetsons.

    I listened to the Democrats bash Bush for everything from gas prices to ruining the economy with large debts, so now it is time for those of us who do not like Obama to blame him for things beyond his control because in business the saying is "the buck stops here". Presidents are often blamed for problems out of their control, but also praised for good things they had nothing to do with. It is just the nature of the job. Gas prices are higher because Obama nixed the pipeline and has cut offshore drilling and more oil has to be imported on account of that and he does carry some of the blame for runaway gas prices.

    Us Americans love to scape goat. We don't want the blame to fall on us, so we blame someone else.
