A kid asked her what the role of the VP was and she said "They’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom". If you look at how the role of VP was crafted, it was to serve as presiding officer in the event of a tie breaking vote and not "in charge" the way she's describing it. Now if that was how she envisioned it, that's another thing.
What specific over regulation are you talking about? I don't watch any media outlet exclusively either, but prefer to read through a variety of sources to form my opinion. Anyone who only relies on one source is going to get easily duped.
How was he "embarrassed by the idea of America"? It would seem strange someone who felt that way would want to lead a country he felt embarrassed of. What Michelle Obama quote are you referring to? His race was his only crowning benefit? You're having a laugh. People voted for him because the message he had in 2008 resonated well across the country to folks who were tired of 8 years of Bush. McCain was a weak candidate who didn't rally the GOP well enough to mount a serious challenge. That there was a candidate who offered the message people wanted to hear who happened to be black is closer to the truth. He hasn't been the only black candidate to run for president, but was the one whose message got through well enough to win. Now whether he lived up to expectations is a whole other can of worms, and there are many who voted for him that found themselves disappointed he wasn't able to stay true to his message.
As for Obama making the US look weak, what specific reason(s) can you cite? He was certainly no dove, but was very aware of the country's reluctance to go to war which affected his foreign policy decisions.
I see your points, I just don't agree with your assessments at all.
As previously shown....
... from the direct quote from our Constitution, the role of the VP is not “ crafted“ at all. As the presiding officer, he/she would preside = : to exercise guidance, direction, or control; to occupy the place of authority : direct or regulate proceedings as chief officer.
Again, you have an almost imposed limited and thus poor assessment as regards what has only been the more recent history of the role of president of the senate. What she said was entirely within the realm of what could, perhaps should be done.
Overregulation? Just a minimal example in one industry:
EPA & OSHA Compliance
This tactic with the overwhelming of individuals and small groups tends to favor the big boys that can fight, lobby. In fact, it is to their benefit in the first place for those very big boys to make it so there are such rules, make it too expensive for the little guys to comply/compete. High barrier for entrance and continued existence is many arenas of enterprising endeavor.
If you fell in love with somebody, would it be your desire to then fundamentally ( with regard to what is basic, essential ) change them?
Speaking of change, please DO NOT CHANGE my words.
I did not say it was slenderman's
only crowning benefit, but rather
his race was only a crowning benefit. Huge difference in the two wordings. Many thought it was just that time, definitely did not want to appear prejudiced and therefore encouraged to vote for this, a first, an historic presidency...and most definitely, the nation was tired from Bush years, McCain in the ass was NOT a particularly good or appropriately conservative candidate.
Race simply was NOT a valid disadvantage to his candidacy.
Think drawing red lines then backing down was a sign of strength? Is it strong or weak not to identify a problem, an enemy, by its name, try to ignore the problem ( call the resulting violence “workplace violence” ), our “kinetic military actions” instead and aka wars, our not lifting even a pinky to help the ones he sent into the hell hole he helped develop in Libya, bowing to foreign leaders, the world apology tour, the complete caving to the mullahs of Iran ( did nothing in support when there was opportunity with the uprising ) .
Despite all the trumped up fake collusion around our former president and his feckless appointees do much of anything, did slenderman make truly strong and decisive efforts to counter these?
You should agree, but only if you want to be right. You, like everyone, have the perfect freedom to choose unwisely.
