Sorry Doc...can't swallow this one.

I'm a Bush supporter but this is a matter of integrity, principle and keeping his sacred oath.

The biggest problem I have with Bush signing CFR is that it places him on the same level as Clinton. There's no difference in my mind between Clinton saying he couldn't do the right thing (fight terrorism) because the public wouldn't support him and Bush saying he can't veto CFR because whatever.

A leader does the right thing because he's a man of principle and a statesman. Bush is displaying NONE of these qualities in this act of submission.

I agree the President acted craven on the matter of upholding the Constitution. Still its water under the bridge. And whom are we going to turn to exactly? The Gephardts, Daschunds, Feingovelts, Shays, and McLames who sought to eviscerate a fundamental freedom we all hold dear and for which step they proudly voted? No, I'm not happy with what President Bush did today. I think he ought to have vetoed CFR. Keep in mind though, that we have stick with the President even as we loudly criticize his failure to do the right thing, since let's face it, the true enemy of American freedom is still right there in the halls of Congress and we must do all we can to keep him from gaining more ground. Not for the sake of the President who spurned us but for the sake of the Constitution we revere and the country we love.

Wait and see, the President is no fool like Clinton was. In fact he just out smarted the rats and it is the rats that will pay dearly.

Agree!

"At First Blush" this looks BAD!

He (& we) is dealing with a plethora of conflicting interests here.

I'll give him a temporary, qualified pass--& wait a while.

He's mostly "Done us proud" so far--& he KNOWS the horrific "Downside" to the bill he signed.

I'm going to give this issue a bit of time to develop; I think there's more here than we know.

I still trust the man--he's "done the right thing so far---"
