A well functioning executive of a liberal democracy should be boring and effective.

The US puts far too much import on its President. They would have been better off with a symbolic monarch so the Chief Executive could get work done. All the limos, "Hail to the Chief," drama of Airforce One -- it's just a distraction.

And that president is the wizard of Oz, he comes out from behind that curtain to go around and manually change gas prices at every pump in the world every morning😂

@BackyardShaman Great point -- the mystical belief the president is omnipotent.
