    It is said American presidents are very powerful and can change their country if they really want. They can reduce the poverty level if not the gross capital of the nation. But It is said that they have to be puppets and they will have no their say and do everything in the interest of the rich few who might have financed their elections campaigns.

    If they are not that powerful and cannot change their economies what good if we vote for a president?
    Obama for instance sounded very much pro poor but in the course of his tenor he was found incapable of doing anything. Though he had so many assurances, oaths and pledges but all that end up in total failures.

    They can impact economies through legislation they either sign or veto, but the real player is the Federal Reserve. We just give too much credit and shame to presidents as it suits us.

    That is true and they have to make compromises and sign treaties with billionaires to work for them in their total interests. There is a flow of money behind all their agendas. It seems there is no liberty, freedom and there is no government for the poor. There is money and interest in everything presidents do.

    Thus the oligarchy we call a democracy :) Representation of the money, by the money, for the money.

    And all their propagandas are hogwash and we simple folks are in their conspiracies have to struggle for making a living. We have to secure our lives and that necessitates guns holding. It seems without guns we are insecure and cops and armies ultimately are ineffective if we take the growing violence into consideration all over the world
