The World's Hardest Job

You know what I'm talking about. The President of the United States of America must have the most difficult job in the world. Not because of important decisions, per se, but the lack thereof. Mostly Congress has the control over what goes on in our nation, and often the two branches don't get along, especially in the past few years.
Worst of all, the president gets flak for stuff he had nothing to do with. When the embassy in Libya was attacked because of extremist reactionaries, he was blamed for not doing anything. When the economy went sour, he was blamed for not doing anything. If he wanted to veto something Congress would overturn it anyway. Congress have the final say, and the president gets way too much criticism.
Do you think that the president should be held responsible for everything in the country? Or what things should he be responsible for? Do we as citizens even know the rights and responsibilities of the president and the executive branch?
