LOL. I know what you mean.

I expected Dubya to come riding into Washington on his White Horse, fumigate the White House, rip up all the Clinton era unconsititutional EOs and generally start putting things to right.

He did what he could, I guess, but in most areas he has either not tried very hard or he has settled for far less than I expected.

The current judicial gridlock is a case in point. The President has nominated some outstanding people to the bench and the Democrats have shamelessly filibustered on any one of them who has an inkling of backbone.

How Dashhole is flat out demanding that the President consult and get pre-approval of the Democrats for any SCOTUS nomination.

This is the Republicans playing hardball? Spare me.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I said the Republicans in Congress couldn't organize a barbeque.

I have nothing but the highest admiration and respect for President Bush.
