"Ah, so you think the president should disregard the will of the people when it comes to the duty assigned to congress by the constitution?"

Dang right I do, and apparently the framers of the Constitution felt the same way or they wouldn't have made accommodations for the president, beginning with George Washington, to veto bills passed by Congress.

You find no provision in U.S. Const., Article I, Section 7, stating presidents should neglect this responsibility when their pals control both houses of Congress.

No, I think the people have an opportunity to change congress every two years. The fact that the people didn't do that until 2006 probably told Dubya that they were doing their constituants will. Considering he needed the support of congress in order to fight the WOT, I think he did what he thought was best, just as Reagan did what HE thought was best when he upped the military budget during his tenure.

Are you too young to remember all the screaming and moaning about the deficits during the Reagan administration?
