Government

As the common folk know, the president is the leader of our country. But who really leads our country in all of the life threatening decisions that we don’t know about. Maybe we are all just paranoid and just make up all of this stuff. When nuclear war comes about do you really think a Texas redneck is going to make the call and say we are going to war? I would rather have someone specialized in nuclear physics or something and that is uncorrupted with politics with no fame but the power of the country. This person probably decides what the president does and how he does it because the "president" doesn't magically know how to deal with terrorists when they become "president". The pluses of having someone like this is that they won’t be taken hostage or bombed by a terrorist group, a redneck will die, not the real leader of our country.
