President of the United States is an honorary title!

President of the United States is an honorary title! If that is the case, who really runs the country? In an area where lines are no longer been drawn between fact and fiction,this show proved rather enlightening: This resonates hugely with me just a few years after Wall Street wrecked the US economy and was rewarded for that with taxpayers bail out money. If the president has no power, I will then speculate that the bankers do. I had studied the industrial revolution back in HS but this seemed a lot like the course they should have thought. As someone points out, there was no woman in the piece and the whole slavery drama seemed such a distant reality one had to to wonder if the slave trade had any impact in the making of the America I have come to know. If there is any element of fact in all of this, much of the conspiracy theories I have swallowed since Sept 11 2001 are founded. The rich and powerful are definitely above the law and democracy, in indeed so very overrated. The capital rules!
