It is the responsibility of the president to represent ALL the people, not just you.

*wicked grin* Constitutional rebuttal - the President doesn't represent anybody. He is the executive of the government of the Union and as such, is elected by the States, not the people.

hee hee...just being a little s***.

Not a small or an irrelevant point.

Instead of bitching about Bush on spending, why can't FR go after the GOP congress? Most of the complaining about Bush is about what we're afraid he's going to influence the Congress to do.

Let's point our guns at the real target: the big-spending GOP congress. And it would be more peaceful here. Not to mention it would return us to a constitutional focus, the hallmark of FR's greatest activist victories.

Properly understood, we don't even need to fight over Bush if we can get to Congress before Rove does.
