Is this your only view of the United States President? He has done good, not only bad.

Yes people are complex. But the institution of needing a president, which seems to have taken on some hallmarks of "dictator" might be the problem. It seems that by clever use of the media and understanding dominant memes and manipulating them, a quasi temporary state of dictatorship can be commanded. All that has to be done is for the issue to be relatgated to debate and be indistinct if a majority exists, for quite a bit of unilateral behaviour to be justified for a period of time, before a clear opposition asserts itself. This does not mean there is not a sophistcated network of a particular group supporting this. Also it does not proclude the [[TryannyOfTheMajority]] problem.

Obviously some benifits will be received by some people, and they will characterise this as GOOD. But only history will give us enough perspective to begin to judge.
