Maybe some of you gentlemen who are much wiser and older can educate me but is it my imagination or is the US President more of a symbolic figure like the Pope than someone who actually does things.
I became an adult when Bush Jr was the President and soon 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan and Iraq started.
I always see the same pattern regardless of who is in office.
Starting with Obama I noticed in 2008 Presidential candidates pretty much say anything to get their voter base to vote for them. After they get into office very little of those promises are actually fulfilled. Some Americans hate the President and blame him every chance they get while some supporters will be okay with anything they said or did regardless of how crazy it was.
4 different US presidents in my adult life and at 38 I still see the exact same pattern which I don’t see changing anytime soon.
So my question is if the President is more of a symbolic figure and doesn’t really call the big shots and is more of a guy to point the finger at then WHO is actually running the world’s biggest superpower?
