"It's a shame, because the President could use his lame duck status to be a loud voice and a real force in the "bully pulpit"
What you and others who think like you is... it is EXACTLY because of these scandals that have forced Bush's numbers down. Not the other way around.
IT WAS BUSH"S Justice Department that failed. And if you don't think they are still covering for Berglar, why hasn't he been given a lie-detector test?
The Bush justice department is made up of mostly career democrats. You see what happened when he only tried to fire a few attornies. IMO, he is weak. He would have done the country a great service if he had fired the whole department and started fresh from the heartland.
