Gee, I sure wish he had spent the last 11 months prosecuting the Clintons, fighting with Daschle and Gephardt, and attempting to fire Clinton appointees when the Senate wouldn't move to replace them (not to memntion the Clinton people who are under civil service and CAN'T be fired).
That would have given him such power and clout when he tried to unite the country after 9/11! I am sure he would have gotten the cooperatioin of Congress if only he had followed your lead! Then he should have vetoed that airport security bill, so that the democrats could have talked about how we didn't want safety on planes, and in the process air travel would have dropped off even more!
But hey, none of that matters, does it? I mean, what's really important is not what actually gets accomplished for the nation, but how you FEEL about things, isn't it?
Bah.
There are many Clinton appointee still in office that do not require Senate action, what is your excuse for these? Instead of crying why doesn't Bush make a slew of recess appointments, they can serve as long as he is in office and he has his people running the admin. not Clinton people. Do you rember Clinton fired all the Justice Dept.'s attys. early in his first year, you devoted republican Senate did nothing about it except run into the corner and hide for the rest of Clinton's time in office.
