Exactly. When 'his opinion' was put to a vote, he wouldn't back up his words with action. The Democrats were hung on their own petard and the President should not be trying to settle things down. This fight is a long time in coming.
What really bothers me these days, is the sudden attempt by the media to cast all this rankor as just too over the top. Early last week it was all described as honest questioning of policy. Now that Bush and Congress have decided to fight back, not seven days later the media is acting as if this has been two-sided all along. Bull ----, and the MSM knows it!
