I told U Boyz about the "SYSTEM"...no canidate that doesn't have the Systems seal of approval will ever get elected to the Presidency...

The system is all about status quo....and the excuse the system uses is that the Presidency is too important of a job for an outsider to be allowed to have...

What can a President do...

He can steer the ship of state in the direction he and his party wants....appointing his own political soul mates to positions of power, implement his ideological programs aka known as allowing his patrons to feed at the trough...the downside to his power is that the shiip of state is slow to turn in the direction that he wants it to. Thus a Presidents policies may not come fruitiion, or as some might say home to roost during his term in office.

What can't the President do...

Very simply he can not rock the boat, by trying to change the system at it's fundlemental roots. There are vested interests that have no desire to change...sure you can change the top line but the bottom line remains the same...if the President trys such a foolish action or is incompetent in his execution of the Systems dictates he is effectivily removed or sidelined by the system...JFK, Nixon, Carter and Clinton...specifically Clinton was like a dog with a can tied to his tail..he was kept so busy deffending himself from allegations that he didn't have time to try any fundlemental changes to the system....his one attempt of changing the Health Care system came to naught and was enough for the System to sideline him effectivily....
