Ignorant and dispicable fools. How Childish you are to need your chocolate fix so soon after the elections. We still have a few rules in the American System. I admit we are no longer called a Republic by our officials. We are told we are Democrats and this is a Democracy. Well.......Kids// It aint and it isn't yet. It was never intended to be such.
In the same vein. I'll answer the question first posed. Dear Children. The United States does something rather different than most countries. That is why it is called the United States. For instance we have a useful little item we use called the popular vote and the Electoral College. (More on that later).
Mr Obama is not President yet. He will be President on January 20th of next year. He is in the process of learning how to be that. Why does he need to go to this special and select school? Well, I think it's rather obvious, but those Luminaries who want to paint the world with Purple Goose Manure everyday need to know the President is a rather serious position to be in. He needs to make good decissios to keep his country being over run with bad decisions. It's hard enough making good decisionns as it is. The training is a plus.
