Really? So Lincoln didn't use his powers to cause change within Washington D.C. and twist enough arms to bring the issue of slavery to a head? And he didn't write the Emancipation Proclamation?
And FDR didn't "stop anything"? And Lyndon Johnson?
I guess Obama must have lost the "wand" when he took office. Bush sure seemed to use it...and used it to take away many of our personal freedoms in the name of the "war on terror". Too bad he didn't tell Obama where he left the "wand" so Obama could reverse some of that shit.
Excuses are what you are making. Yes, theoretically the govt. represents "The People"
In real life...they represent THEMSELVES stealing and spending every penny they can get their hands on.
