It's a terribly uninformed viewpoint and a pisspoor take. The irony is that the same people swearing the presidency is a figurehead position are the SAME idiots who will commence blaming whatever person we elect for everything from has prices to weather patterns to their dryer that loses all their socks. Essentially we've made God, Santa and the POTUS the same exact guy (or girl, come November); a mythical creature simultaneously imaginary and useless and yet responsible for granting all our wishes and taking blame for all our ills.
Whatever...they're both horrible and we have to pick one.
