I will be the first to admit... I didn't pay much attention in my government class in high school so should maybe know more about this before i even speak.
But, I saw a posting where people were blaming the President for things that realisticly could not be any individual person's fault.
So just curious... why do so many people blame the President for stuff? Isn't it the American voters that put him in office? So shoudn't the people who voted for him (which would have to be a large number of people) be at fault? And with the President's decision making... does stuff have to be approved through the Senate?
Is the President just the scape goat for problems bigger than any man can really take blame for?
I know plenty of Bush haters will be ready to rip my head off for this one... but I would genuinely like to hear if anyone agrees with that too.
