Really?

I am watching the evening news and one of the democratic candidates said:
"You don't pick a president to make speeches, you pick a president to solve problems and take care of you and your family."

Really? I'm pretty sure that I don't elect a president for those reasons. I'm pretty sure the president is basically a figure head who is in most cases, in capable of actually doing anything. He or she can stop things from happening, which is more why I vote for a president.

Call me crazy, but I don't expect or desire the president to take care of me or my family. Call me Miss Independent, but I prefer to make those decisions by myself. And as far as those who aren't able to do that, they should be taught how to fish. Seriously. I'm scared for the future of our country. Socialism here we come. . . (and we all know how well that's worked out for people who've tried. . . )
