Does a president need to know how the govenment works?

How can a President lead if he doesn't know how the system works

In my opinion a president needs to know the complete process of government.. Obama does not seem to have a grasp on anything. Yes, the president is the commander-in-cheif, however there are those in the know & those just filling a place. If Obama believes he can give the Joint Chief's of Staff new marching orders, he is talking to the wrong group.

I believe with all my heart there needs to be change in the political world. Honesty, integrety, the truth would be nice. It isn't there. Obama doesn't represent any of those things. He bends with the wind. He won the nomination for his party, now he flips to the right.

In order to create a positive change a president needs to know the pecking order. Based on current information, Obama does not have a clue.

There are many unnessary levels in government, feel good positions that do absolutely nothing. Obama seems to think they are more powerful than they are. How can we rely on a man that doesn't understand the office he strives to hold..

When I was in grade school a friend of mine ran for President of the student body. He didn't run on issues, he promised us kool aid in the drinking fountains. (That was before Jim Jones & poison Kool Aid) We all knew that was never going to happen, we liked him a lot, he was elected. We never got what he promiseed, didn't expect to. School goes on no matter who is elected. The adults ruled.

Obama will not be able to give us what he promises. He doesn't expect too. He will give us something we really don't want dependence on the system, loss of freedom to be who we want to be. We will loose our freedom of choice, we will find that the govenment is not the best provider of our needs. This man scares me. I want the right to succeed or fail. If I fail, it is mine. If I succeed it is mine. I don't want the govenment involved in my health choices, financial choices, educational choices, any personal choices. Freedom means my life is mine, my choices, my success, my failure.
