Quote from Yannis:
More leftist BS wordsmithing...
The title is Vice President of the United States (President of the Senate) . Now, what's the difference between the word "leader" loosely used in my oiriginal post and the official title "President" that is written in the VP job description? Isn't our "President" the "Leader" of this country? How about in academe? In business? Don't ordinary people use those two words interchangeably for the most part? You may argue that the VP is not leading in everyday Senate affairs but only in special situations. But most CEOs do exactly the same thing: they only put their foot down when their subordinates are stuck and cannot make up their minds which way to proceed.
C'mon you guys, here we are talking about the essence of things from the perspective of the American people (and yes, I am an American, are you?) not useless archaic semantic distinctions that make no difference to anyone.
