Oh I get it, leadership by trial balloon, don't brother to think and plan and research just throw ideas out and see if they get shot down. Cool.

No! I don't agree with that assessment. I think the President does plan and research .. but he also knows that the issue needs to be discussed.

Bush has never done anything as a "trial balloon" .. sorry .. you have the wrong president!
