"bush understood the limits of presidential power"-- I heard that yesterday morning |
|
and was just glad I wasn't drinking anything. not sure who said it, or what station--was merely something I overheard.
how braindead does someone have to be, or how gullible does that person think WE are, to believe this kind of errant nonsense?

1. Doesn't matter -- Cheney didn't, and he was calling the shots. |

2. True. He understood that there were no limits on his power. |
|
Congress and the Supreme Court proved he was right.

3. Bush was right. Presidential power is limited if you allow the people |
|
to know what you're doing.

5. Which is why he always made sure to get Congress to make the UnConstitutional things he did OK |
|
after he got caught doing them.

7. He understood the limits and that's why he tried to expand those limits. |
|
Why should he be limited by laws he just signed. Why not ADD a signing statement. Then he, as a result, could become the legislative branch also.
It goes on and on. I'm pretty sure his real father was Satan.

10. He couldn't be bothered w/ that detail. |
|
He got to wear cool socks, boots, jackets & boxers w/ the pretzeldential seal on them and nobody else did! (I may have made up the part about the boxers).

11. Bush didn't know the limits of lunch |
|
Let alone presidential power. He governed as if he didn't have a clue of "limits".
He was a wartime preznit.

13. Bush did understand the limits of presidential power ... |
|
but he understood better the fact that nobody was going to report his blasting past the limits in his rocket-powered race car ...
