If only we paid as much attention...

to the other elections going on this year.

I'll submit if we examined the people who are elected to Congress every 2 years as we do the president we'd be much better off.

I agree. However I'm still waiting for people to pay attention to the issues that are relevant to a Presidential race.

Why? Has all the attention we've been paying to electing the president gotten us good presidents?

I see a breakdown in your logic, there.

Agreed. And, also state officials. The folks in Albany, NY, are some of the biggest thieves around.

Your general point is well-taken; but in fairness, a Congressman or Senator cannot commit the entire nation's military to battle with a single command, or radically alter the complexion of the US Supreme Court with nominees. Presidents can, and do.

I take it that your capitalization is a measure of your respect for both?

Joking aside, the President, all by himself, represents roughly 1/3 of the entire power in Washington DC. Each of your Senators from your state represent about 1/100th of 1/2 of 1/3 and your Congressmen each represent about 1/435th of the other 1/2 of 1/3. All of the nine Supreme Court Justices (nominated by Presidents and confirmed by Congress) represent the last 1/3.

Tell me again who's the most important person to pay attention to?

Oh, that's right, some of you guys think it's the wife. My bad.

Who makes the bills that create laws? Not the President. Your analogy is a bit askew.

He can veto them, so that is part of the legislation process. Furthermore, he can urge Congress to write them, his cronies will follow suit. The 3 branches do overpal, sometimes quite a bit. {residents do write legislation, but in a backdoor fashion.
