Can Someone Please Explain: Why is the President.....

Advertisements [?]

responsible for negotiating things like the budget and debt ceiling? These USED to be matters for the House of Representatives and/or Senate to address. Fight it out among themselves. Then send the legislation (or lack thereof) to the Prez to either veto, sign or set aside for passage without signature.

Obama is doing a pretty bad job. But, worse, we've got a whole Democratic Congress sitting on its hands, while he gives away the shop. And those international wars? Who knows what is going on there, while the Chief Executive babysits idiots like Eric Kantor.
