There is no  leader in any endeavor, whether public or private, who can move the institution  forward without the support of the public.  No leader can be effective against  public apathy.
The  strongest voting block in the United States is the group that doesn’t vote.   That group of non-voters is much larger than the group of voters who do vote.   When you don’t vote, your vote in reality goes in as a “no” vote or as a vote  that is pleased with the “status quo”.
When I vent  my anger and frustration on how this country is solving its problems, I do so  not at the President, the paralyzed U.S. Congress or state government  officials.  The fault is not theirs.  The fault is the Americans who do not vote  and the ones who do vote having little or no understanding of the issues.  I am  not concerned that the Citizens United case will turn over all power to  the rich unless the American voter continues to fail to participate in and learn  the substance of the issues and vote with some level of understanding.  The rich  will never gain control of this country if the voter will simply  vote.
