You may disagree with the President. Disprove of how he's doing his
job. But if you're an American, you realize that are the Government

This is a value which is more popular with the Right than with the

party is in power. Maybe it just sounds as though it's ignored, and
the Right is hoping for the President's policies to succeed.
