Ricky,

While congress does have a lot of power, even you cannot dismiss the fact that the powers of the executive branch have grown leaps and bounds under the current administration.
Further, wouldn't it be near-sighted to just blame congress when the newly found executive powers (granted by the justice department and not congress) were being wielded like a pissed off, drunken mad man whose wife just became the town whore? And if we look at things like the economy, where this president's fiscal planning (or lack there of) has literally created one of the biggest deficits in history (this number does not include the price of the war) isn’t it irresponsible not to put a good chunk of blame on the executive branch?
You know Ricky ... I think the history books will put this mess down on only a few names and there is little that any of the good intentioned zealots on this board can do about it. With that being said, I respect you as one of the greatest powerlifters alive, but I put as much weight on your political views as I do the views that come from actors / musicians. Stay strong and I hope business is going well.

Mario
