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.
