Why we need a dual presidency in U.S.

Universities and colleges have presidents who don't do much except fund raise, meet alumnae and represent the school to the community. The board of directors actually makes the decisions for the school.

Great Britain has a queen who does little except maintain an aura of once historic greatness. She meets with foreign dignitaries and visits new hospitals. But Britain's Prime minister is the true head of the government, or at least of his ruling party.

We should adopt a similar plan in the U.S. Obama is a friendly enough guy. He bows politely to foreign leaders (except Netanyahu), drinks beer with disgruntled policemen, plays basketball with his buddies, coddles Marxist dictators and shows nothing but respect for Islamic nations and their terrorists.

With my dual-president idea, Obama could be something of a titular head of the U.S. He could run all over the world with Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter spouting anti-American rhetoric or whatever he thinks will endear us to the international community.

But the real president, someone with experience beyond the work of a community organizer would have expertise in finance, global issues and the military; a statesman who could make important decisions with the security of America foremost. Since the Constitution seems to be irrelevant to the present administration, this would be an excellent time to initiate an election for a second, bona fide president.
