Dennis,
I won't argue that having a President that was starting to suffer from Alzheimer's is scary. (IBM produced a "Presidential model" of its typewriter, it had no colon or memory.) My point was that Reagan, and Clinton, had the good sense to have good advisers and do what they suggested.
Mike Smith, who does the political cartoons for the Sun, recently drew one that labeled the White House as "For Sale" because Obama is now accepting super PAC money. What is of interest is that two years ago Smith's cartoon's were decidedly pro-Obama in tone.
Simply put, the American electorate is dissatisfied with BOTH Democrats and Republicans.
Dennis,
I did not say that. What I said was that I agree in principle with Mike with regard to Reagan and Clinton and further stated that both Clinton and Reagan enjoyed reasonable success because they surrounded themselves with good people and listened to them.
On a side note, my take-home pay increased noticeably due to the Reagan tax policies. I was making about mid-five figures at the time. Not only that, but the company I worked for at the time (a company that supplied after-market products and test equipment for laser printers) saw a substantial increase in business.

Jon, why don't you use your "bully" pulpit to help change this? You have gained considerable notoriety lately (CNN's words, not mine.)

Most of the problem here comes from the fact that the English language has changed in the 225 years since the Bill of Rights was written. The First Amendment does not refer to an "establishment of religion" as a building or a church, but rather to Congress establishing an official State religion.
When viewed in that light, and coupled with the "no test of faith" clauses in the Constitution, this debate can be seen in an entirely different (and more correct) context.
