Because the damned Dems and some damned RINOS keep trying to shoot EVERYTHING the president wants to do, down, he must find a way around them. Of course he tries to do things in the usually way, but that NEVER seems to work. So he finds other ways to get someone on a court, in place at the UN, and now, a baby step in privatizing Social Security.
What FR's UNAPPEASABLES and I WANT EVERYTHG I WANT NOW,RIGHT NOW, OR I'M GONNA HOLD MY BREATH UNTIL I GET IT groups refuse to understand and accept, is that the damned Dems had generations to get us to the point we are at today. President Bush isn't a benevolent dictator, he can't just order something to be done and it'll be done, but he has and IS still making great progress towards the yearned for goals.
