- sliverstorm 13y agoAgreed. No matter how effective you think he is, or how much you like his policies, it seems pretty clear he's under tremendous stress.
- bluthru 13y agoWorking with the congress that has the lowest approval rating in history, and the congress that has passed the least amount of bills will do that to you.
- MaggieL 13y agoRating Congress by "number of bills passed" is as smart as rating coders based on number of lines of code written.
- bluthru 13y agoI get what you're driving at, but the analogy doesn't quite work. We want software to perform functions and we don't care about the amount of lines of code to achieve this. We also want our government to perform functions, and law is how they achieve this. Your stance would make sense if we were in a state that didn't need improvement.
- MaggieL 13y agoWe don't want government to simply "perform functions". The best government is the least government. Like code, we want no more government than is absolutely necessary, and I say we have way too much government already. Your stance would make sense only if adding more laws would improve things.
- downer90 13y agoBest comment ever. The exact same words had formed in my mind, and then there they were, already written out for me.
- chiph 13y agoThe job is brutal. Look at photos of Bush Jr. before & after -- same thing.
- dnautics 13y agoit's only brutal because those jokers take themselves too seriously. If I were president, I'd pay myself a minimal salary, go on extended vacation, veto everything, and the only responsibility I'd take upon myself would be that big fat red button.
- daigoba66 13y agoIronically it is congress that sets the president's salary. Thus you must get congress to pass a bill which you then must sign. That's a lot of work!
- 0003 13y agoHe definitely caught the coding bug.
