There’s a point where I think the RWNJs are granting an almost super-human power to the Presidency. Like, really.

As far as I can tell, Obama gets to wear lots of hats and does his best to keep up to date on things but he has to consider the big picture. The nitty-gritty is probably rarely where he’s making individual decisions, unless it’s a decision like (for example) the raid that killed bin Ladin - something with extreme political impact both domestically and abroad. Most of the time, though, he’s getting an overview and what he needs to know and keep things in balance. He’s not Superman and there are only so many hours in a day. That’s why there’s a whole government underneath him that he’s trusting to do their jobs and bring things to his attention as needed. (Of course, this provides other failure points, but that’s reality.)

I think the RWNJs think that a president is supposed to be super-human, though. At least, if the president in question is a Democrat and especially if he is a black man. And when he’s not, well, IMPEACH.

That’s what I get from the current political dialog, anyway.
