Well, i don't expect change from politicians.* The people who
  generated the rules of government made it so nobody has that
  much power.* In short, doesn't really matter who's on top:* Even
  the official duties of president are primarily this:*
  Figurehead. It's a symbolic role. The promises they make are
  precisely the promises they CAN'T keep; their presidential
  powers don't go that far at all. So, I vote for the guy/gal with
  the funniest ears or whatever and I'm good.* Outside of
  declaring war or vetoing something, all they can do is
  persuade.* Not very powerful.
