Slip slidin’ away – As Obama’s popularity drops, so does his power

Dick Morris’s latest article explains how as Obama’s popularity continues to circle the toilet, so too does his power:

Superficially, the United States appears to have a presidential system, but in fact it more and more resembles a parliamentary form of government. When a president loses the approval of the majority of the voters and polls reflect that his ratings have fallen substantially below 50 percent, he loses his power. In this context, polls are like parliamentary votes of no confidence in European systems. While the government does not fall if it loses in the polling, it limps on until either its ratings improve or it is voted out of office at the next election.

    i totally agree with cheri. what a stupid man. he talks and talks and says nothing.

    i now know that i am on the right side of all the issues, everytime i hear any of the demonrats speak, especially the head evil one.

    i am still praying for the lord to intervene in this horrible administration.

    Obama is undoubtedly one of the best presidents of USA and certainly the best after Abraham Lincoln.
