You say amateur president and use the term in a pejorative way. If obama is amateur president then what were bush and clinton? Perhaps bush was the improbable president. And clinton the dysfunctional one. And speaking of amateur what was Lincoln when he became president?

Electing an inexperienced president has obviously turned out to be a huge mistake.

But it could be tolerable had he not been given a liberal Congress who can get legislation through like this hideous Cap-and-Trade bill.

There is a good chance the Senate will block it. But what if they can't? We will be stuck with a piece of legislation that is just atrocious by any reasonable measure. A big tax and spend, big regulation bill that does NOTHING. Saves 1% of CO2 emissions over 100 years. That gives every country a competitive advantage over us.

The legislation is grossly incompetent in every respect. Yet, the country could well be stuck with it because we have a president who thinks he knows what's good for us, and a Congress that is a rubber stamp.

If you're going to have an idiot elected as president, you don't need a rubber stamp Congress.
