Who is the single most powerful person in the U.S.?

Donny, George, Karl, or Dick?

Adam, obviously. Didn't you ever hear him shouting that he was He-man and that he had the power?http://www.omelete.com.br/imagens/televisao/artigos/he-man/novo_he-man.jpg
How can he not have the power?
I am Adam. Prince of Eternia and keeper of the secrets of Castle Greyskull. This is Cringer... my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said... By the power of Greyskull! I have the power!... Cringer became the Mighty Battle Cat, and I became He-Man the most powerful man in the universe.*nods*

we like low taxes (well most of us do...). And look at how strong the economy is!

(if you have a beef with foreign policy, fine, but economically speaking, the tax cuts have worked pretty well)

GEORGE has the power


Whether he allows them to tug at his ear or not, that's up to him. In the end, he has the power to decide.

They say, he does. His powers to decide are limited by the fact that they can reveal stuff that'll get him impeached/strung up in town centre for all to see.

And money isn't everything.

He-man might have a hard plastic body, but shoot him in his soft rubber head and he goes down. And yes the He-man figures were a powerful and facistic band of invaders, but we insurgents formed an alliance with the micronaught action figures and lego men and using grappling hooks pulled castle Greyskull from the top of the cupboard.

Huh? To an outsider like me the U.S. economy seems to be running on air like Wile E. Cyote does for a while after running off a cliff. (I hope and atheistically pray that there will be a soft landing.) To me, saying the tax cuts have been good for the economy is like saying a nose full of cocaine is good for your health because you feel just great for a while after snorting it.

Who is the single most powerful person in the U.S.?

The Borg-like collective called The People. But as they don't realise it yet out of the choices given I guess I'll have to go with dick. Nothing is has more power for at least half the population than dick. Oh wait a minute! You mean Dick Cherny! Still, I stand by what I said.

As much good as any other sort of prayer I'm sure. But we digress. Mmmm... Sweet digression...

Kudos to you sir. All I did was Lego was make things like houses or space ships and see how high I could drop them before they broke. I'd mostly just 'fly' the space ships into walls.

Shouldn't that be in the thread on mainstream misinformation!

Try really looking at your economy. You are bankrupt people, you just don't realise it yet. (When the total credit repayments for the year owed by the population is greater than the total income of that population, you have a problem.)

How can there be a problem if GDP is very high, and rising?

How can there be a problem if GDP is very high, and rising?Think of it like the film Speed. Your bus is eventually going to run out of petrol and then things will get nasty. America's debts will eventually be called in or people we stop investing/loaning money.

Given that he is not American, I imagine that Bush's foreign policy is his main grievance.
