Why don't Obama supporters hold him responsible?

Gia... Your answer is almost right... except that the President has this little thing called Executive Privilege... which Obama has used to hide documents from Congress in the "Fast and Furious" scandal.

I have no idea why people continue to trust the man... I guess it's delusion that he is a better man than he really is... and the fact that the liberal press seem to white wash everything he does.

People fail to realize that just because a man is the President doesn't mean he can do anything and everything he wants to. People also need to realize that they can't hold one individual responsible for what he can or cannot do based on what he's being allowed to do or not do.

The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch “checks” the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them. How does this system of checks and balances work?

The process of how laws are made is a good example of checks and balances in action. First, the legislative branch introduces and votes on a bill. The bill then goes to the executive branch, where the President decides whether he thinks the bill is good for the country. If so, he signs the bill, and it becomes a law.

If the President does not believe the bill is good for the country, he does not sign it. This is called a veto. But the legislative branch gets another chance. With enough votes, the legislative branch can override the executive branch's veto, and the bill becomes a law.

Once a law is in place, the people of the country can test it through the court system, which is under the control of the judicial branch. If someone believes a law is unfair, a lawsuit can be filed. Lawyers then make arguments for and against the case, and a judge decides which side has presented the most convincing arguments. The side that loses can choose to appeal to a higher court, and may eventually reach the highest court of all, the Supreme Court.

If the legislative branch does not agree with the way in which the judicial branch has interpreted the law, they can introduce a new piece of legislation, and the process starts all over again.

This also holds true for anything that the president himself may want to change. Without the support of the other government branches he is powerless. This is not defending Obama, this is defending all presidents that people want to complain about for not doing their job

Maybe Obama is blaming the Republicans because they're the ones who are keeping him from doing the things he promised to do while he was in office.

Because we understand what was going on in America.

You seem to forget that for SIX YEARS, GWB and the Republicans own the House, the Senate and the White House.

Bush could have accomplished ANYTHING he chose too. But what did he do? He left a hot mess and made his friends a whole lot richer.
