If things keep going like they are that just may be the way it turns out. People need to wake up and start realizing just how much EVIL there is in the World. Our People in Uniform are doing an Outstanding job overseas. When the enemy finally erupts after they have infiltrated our streets we will have to fight also. A lot of people think they will be protected always. Too a point that's true. When everthing goes bad they will want to blame President Bush. Well, wake up people, he is only one person. Call you congressman and senators. They are the first in control. Read the Constitution of the United States. Five hundred and thirty five people that we elected have more control than the President that takes care of the day to business of America and in my mind and heart is doing a great job. Get this, those five hundred and thirty five would like you to believe they are innocent and the President is always the one at fault.

"When everthing goes bad they will want to blame President Bush. Well, wake up people, he is only one person."
That whole 'President' thing is why people blame him for military failures or inactions. Yes, he's one person - the commander-in-chief of the United States military, whose sole Constitutional purpose is the defense of the nation.
When the Valdez ran aground and dumped tons of oil into the area, do you think they blamed the hundreds of Exxon stockholders? Or did they perhaps blame the captain of the ship?
"Five hundred and thirty five people that we elected have more control than the President"
The powers are separate and balanced. Also, as the commander-in-chief, he has the power to make war on a nation for 60 days without consent of Congress under the 1973 War Powers Act. Pretending he's a powerless little man with no control, authority, or responsibility belittles him and the office of the President.
