   there's an easy solution.
   
   Read the frigging constitution. All these problems he has have NOTHING to do with his powers as Chief Executive, and EVERYTHING to do with his allegiance to his party instead of allegiance to the Constitution.
   
   Although, i'm not one to poo-poo depression, the article didn't really say he had clinical depression, it just sort of implies that he is depressed. These are, in English common vernacular, different things.

      They move their companies to increase their profits, your damn right they do.
      
      Companies are not in business to supply jobs they are in business to make money.
      
      The US is one of very few Countries that tax businesses that operate outside of its borders on a deferral system.
      
      The company makes money in Germany and is taxed at a lesser rate and when that money is brought back to the US its taxed again.
      
      So why bring the money back here?
      
      I know that concept of profit goes way over your head. But know that it is YOU and DEMOCRATS driving business and JOBS  away.

    He should be depressed understanding how many Americans have been financially ruined after the melt down, while money machines continue to show record profits, even amidst the highest number of foreclosures America has seen (over a million this year).
    
    However, I rather doubt he is depressed about his fellow Americans. Congress and the money machines sure aren't.

    I would not be surprised if Obama is in fact battling depression; he inherited a total mess, he tried all he could think of to stop the bleeding (and it didn’t work as he would have hoped), he is under pressure from both parties as November elections are just around the corner.
    What do you expect? Sure he may very well be depressed and it shows in his lack of energy and less than convincing enthusiasm.

Simple as pie, when you know what your looking for.

If not I'll be glad to show you .
