Sarcasm? No, just a fact. There's nothing to worry about. The US has had numerous puppet presidents. It survived quite well. Bush was a puppet of
Cheney and the neocons. That worked out ok. Actually, the POTUS position isn't all that important. What's important is that Congress is divided. That
way, nothing gets done.
Thats exactly what I am suggesting. And I don't think I am particularly astute. I've just been around a long time. After a while, it becomes rather
obvious. While typing this it came to mind that one of the truly independent presidents was JFK. We know how that worked out.
