For each of your economic issues, the President has little, if any, direct or unilateral power. No doubt every President has secretly shared Theodore Roosevelt's daydream: "If I could only be President and Congress too for just 10 minutes."

President Franklin Roosevelt "didn't talk with Hitler," McCain argued, attacking Obama's recent suggestion that if elected President he would open a dialogue with communist Cuba's leader, Raul Castro, as well as leaders of other hostile nations such as Iran...

True, the maverick clips Republicans often: He called Donald Rumsfeld one of the worst defense secretaries in history, dubbed the federal response to Hurricane Katrina “disgraceful,” and slammed President Bush for “shirking” his duty to combat climate change...
