To use Carl's analogy, think of us as a Football team. Our President is the Coach. The running back might have one idea on how to advance the ball, the wide receiver thinks he's open, one of the guys on the bench has seen this before and think he knows best ... they have conflicting opinions on how to advance the ball. But, the wining team executes the same play and works in a coordinated fashion.
It does not matter that there are different opinions, on the playing field they agree to function as a team.
The more accurate analogy is this:
The football PLAYERS realize that their coach now represents the opposing team as well as their team. When plays keep coming in from the sidelines that seem to strongly disadvantage their own team and advantage the other team, some of the PLAYERS are going to rightly ask: "Hey coach...whose side are you on!" If the coach says: "Hey guys...can't we all just get along? There's plenty for everybody if you'll just show some unity!. The PLAYERS at some point are going to say: "We better find us a new coach!"
