Song makes some excellent points.  It asks questions that are valid and it is certainly
OK to ask them.

My only real concern is that it lays 100% of society's ills squarely on his shoulders
without acknowledging the difficulties that this country has faced that were not
caused by him.  Many of the problems we have today will have to be solved by us
in our own communities and churches as no single man can handle the job.

yeah, I agree with that...


the president has a hard job, and not *every* problem is his fault..

I concur.  The President really doesn't run the country; congress does.  He just shoulders the blame because he's the frontman.
