Unfortunately... just as (in another thread) not voting is ignored, so is changing your "mind" (and I use that term losely) on issues within months of the election (because he's getting too much flak from the people that didn't elect him... a majority of people here). Appropriated even less respect (from me) is the way our media "played down" the importance of the sentiments that Europeans brought to him (on a recent visit), yet when it comes to virtually everything else "a good capitalist" should pay attention to, we live in a global atmosphere.

If this countries' laws would be adjusted to reflect the now, and in doing so take the original words "by the people for the people" a bit more serious, there would be more referendi(sp?) and less bs masked within the law coming from the elected.
