Hello, I am not American I am a Canadian but your posts have intrigued me. Not too long ago I was watching the history channel where they showed the past and present presidents. What it showed me Obama lives in the whitehouse bubble and someone else presents things to him for final decission. I remember when they spoke on the history channel when Regan was first elected and he said once he went to office he asked what do I do now? If they don't get out in public how the heck are they to know what is really going on? I couldn't believe it they called it a whitehouse bubble. Sheltered from the outside world.
