Discussion dispute over President's role

My study group and I are having a dispute (friendly but heated) over the role a President of the United States plays in the citizens life. Most of the group are very liberal minded and believe a President should make you feel "warm + fuzzy" over your present survival, security, social affiliation, esteem, and self actualization...and that you achieve all that you can be. I think that's bunk. I think that is up to the individual. I'm not a political science person...so if anyone is knowledgeable in this area, could you please give me your feedback and thoughts. Are they right or am I?

Medical Malpractice Crisis

Using at least one source, comment at least 600 words on the following: Medical Malpractice Crisis: The use of defensive medicine. example: what is it? Whats the problem with it? How does it contribute to the medical malpractice crisis? These are just examples. You are free to write whatever you feel like, so long as it pertains to "defensive medicine" in the context of medical malpractice.

democratic primary

I'm having trouble finding out some information regarding the Democratic Primary 2004. I know the race began with 10 candidates...when did each drop out and how many primaries/caucuses had they competed in and how many delegates had they won by that point in time? If anyone has a website that contains this information for me, I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your time.
