Easiest way to explain it is this: You can name the key people in defence, in diplomatic affairs, etc... but who does economics? Who does domestic policy? Most people don't know (and I sure don't, not off the top of my head).


Didn't you notice the two wars that happened? 9/11 happened? Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden, Al Queda happened? that those issues dominated the media for two years. wouldn't that make sense as to why everyone knows who Tommy Franks, Donald Rumsfeld, Ari Fleischer, Colin Powel and Condaleeza Rice is?

what does "who does domestic policy" mean? what is "domestic policy"? "Domestic Policy" is usually legal, tax and economic packages - which are all things that MUST flow through the House and Senate... not dictated by a General or a single individual. Do you see the difference? What does "who does economics" mean? I thought it was the White House, Congress and Senate and Chairman of the Federal Reserve that "did economics"

Alex, you can prove that apples and oranges "are nearly identical" if you are biased against fruit and are focused on proving that point. same size, same weight, same growing cycles etc etc etc.
