I know a President cannot do everything exactly how he may set out or wish to do. With all the checks and balances that tend to create a slow-moving government, intentionally placed by our Founding Fathers, it's a no-brainer that not everything can be done exactly how everyone wants. That, for me, is a non-issue. And although he is the president of the entire country, he was placed there by those who elected him. Clinton did not cater to the right. Why is there always the expectation that the conservatives have to cater to the morally bankrupt left and if we balk at that, we're the ones with "the problem"?
You know...I don't know.
I am beginning to think that President Bush has to spend so much time fighting his own party, that he doesn't have much left for the dems...
A new thread has Specter threatening to fight the nomination of Hayden for the CIA Director...because Hayden was the one that came out and explained the NSA wiretapping program after it was leaked in the newspaper.
He is the second in command under Porter Goss..so it is logical to move him up, right? Not in Specter's world...so if Bush is to get his probable nominee through, DURING WAR, he is going to have to fight his own party members in Congress.
I know, I know, he campaigned for Specter...but, I have had it explained to me (because I have been furious since 2004)..that it is "tradition" that a sitting POTUS will back an incumbent in his own party....blech.
I say this is as good of a time as any to break with tradition...and call Specter to the White House and break the bad news to him...that Bush is POTUS, not him.
