President Bush is knowledgeable enough that I believe he knows that if he inserted himself forcefully, that he will find himself in an impeachable position. This poll mentioned on FOX suggests that if he were to overexert his authority, he will find himself in the minority view.
I believe God is counselling him quite well thus far.
Pull the reigns too tight and that horse will buck.
You're probably right about that.
Better for people to be angry at the Republicans in Congress than at the president, imo.
