Your right, figurehead isn't the right word to use. But while America continues to give power to some clown based on his ability to equivocate, then American politics is simply a cult of personality and can never be seen as a serious world leader. |
Point #1...
You're right. But that would be... other parts of the world. Wishing it so doesn't make it so, but we would agree that's the direction we need to go. Yet I'm not sure shifting and adjusting quite qualifies as an attempt to entertain. Sometimes a it qualifies as an attempt to actually represent instead of being more like a know it all "sit down and shut up cause I know better" dictator. It's a matter of being somewhere between jello and an arrogant, self aggrandizing, hardass.
Point #2...
...or they hand power to some Jimmy Jones wannabe thinking God approves everything he thinks and does. We don't need either.
