Bill Gates: �Some days I wish we had a system like the UK� to give Obama more power
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, the wealthiest American, said on �some days� he wishes the U.S. political system were like England�s, so that President Barack Obama could have �slightly more power.�
Gates was asked for his assessment of President Obama�s job performance during an interview at Politico�s �Playbook Cocktails� event.
�Some days I wish we had a system like the U.K. where, you know, the party in power could do a lot and you know, you�d see how it went and then fine you could un-elect them,� said Gates on Wednesday.
�Now, over time, our system has worked slightly better than theirs, theirs has worked okay but so it�s ironic that right now it feels like I wish there was slightly more power in the presidency to avoid some of these deadlocks. So I think what he [Obama] wants to do and what he�s actually able to do, the gap is so big there that it�s hard to know in some ways.�
Bill -- if you do not see Obama for what he is, you need to back away from the public stage. Really.
