Well, I'm not too big on standing with any President because he's THE President.
Swooning over this present one has gotten us a long to where we are today.
Putting too much into the executive's office seems to me to be slightly Un-American, the branchs of our government are co-equals, so what I want is a Constitutional government wherein the Congress, the Courts and the President all do their jobs. The President leading but following the lead of the People who are represented by the Congress with the Courts doing or undoing what they get wrong or fail to act on.
Of course, that's a fantasy.
The House is paid subscriber of lobbyists and the Senate is still full of pontificating puffballs, unable to tackle anything like immigration reform or Social Security. Let's see if either can come up with a budget before Christmas,
not a continuing resolutionthat would dump all the problems on the incoming Democrats. Bets?
Where are the Republicans who will say We do not need Rangel's Bill? We are going out and signing up all of our true believers.
