No, this is exactly wrong. The US government, particularly at the Presidental level, isn't a business and it isn't run like a business. For instance, Congress doesn't report to the President and they don't take orders from him. In fact, they don't have to do anything.
​
And more.
​
Somehow, many people expect the President to do the "big fix", forgetting that the Congress is also part of the government.

Paul K gets an A for Effort
Author: Paul K
Forum: Education and Creation/Evolution
Thread: Church Is Not Enough?
Message #: 37

I was impressed with Pauls patience at answering the cut & paste claims of our newest creationist. While I don't downgrade creationist belief in any way, Paul quite clearly puts forth an argument that will take some homework to counter-engage in.
