I mean, how much difference does it make in the everyday life of the average American who occupies the White House? And how much room is there for the president to actually guide his country between realpolitik, party polarities, and whatever else happens in the world?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Lots.

Makes no difference to the upper middle class and elite, though.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Maybe not so much for the Average Joe, but the Average Josie would have lots to think about.

I don't think there's many average Joes on Wall Street, either, but they'll probably collectively spooge their Brooks Bros. slacks.

:huh:

Considering the majority of bible thumpers are backing the heathen, I don't see how it'll increase either way.

As an average joe, I see no difference. Drones are gonna continue to smack baddies and give me weird boners.

That doesn't matter. It's whether the HM/NIC listens to them or not.

In the age of polarization, there are no Average Joes.  There are only Above Average Joes and Below Average Joes.
