A recurrent question from others when discussing Chimp's presidency:

[npincus]

from neighbers, friends, family, acquaintances. They ask: how does he get away with it?

Anyone have a succinct answer?

[ThomWV]

1. Apathy

Succinct.

2. Up until 2007 he had a compliant congress,

now he has the advantage of procedures that have to be waded through to get to the nitty gritty..his time has just about run out. Miers has 5 days then fertilizer can hit the oscillating blades.

3. ....because he can.

He's got all the balls on his side of the field and we don't have anyone defending the goal....and you have to remember * makes the rules up as the game is being played.

4. GOP anti-American enablers

putting party before country every day for the last 6 years.

5. I agree with Shraby.

And by this time, they have learned how to cover their asses from every angle.

I just with the Dems could be as slimy, sneaky, conniving, dirty, underhanded and conscienceless as this administration.

6. Everything that jr does is played like some kind of weird texas hold'em

They come up with some kind of plan that is completely off the wall illegal/criminal & work through a scheme where, by the time they've pull it off they have you believing that there is nothing you can do because of the murkiness of the separation of powers clause in the constitution.
