That is one of the most naive comments uttered publicly and some of the discussion here moved me to comment even though this is an old post. If some of you were fish, you would claim the water had no effect on you at all. Many people lives would have been dramatically different if we would have had a Gore presidency rather than Bush. The fact you do what you do and are afforded the decisions you have been afforded are to varying degrees influenced by presidential policy and support or lack of support. None of them has been solely responsible the the country we have today but all of them have been responsible for their influence good and bad. To not see that, James, is to be oblivious to history, politics, and economics. Perhaps if you had had the good fortune of being born in the Democratic Republic of Congo you would have made the same decisions with the same results you experienced here in the US?
