Free Republic is full of smart asses, which is probably why all of us on this thread fit in so well.

President Bush has a duty to the people that voted for him - the people he made all the campaign promises to - to keep his promises.

President Bush is a Republican and ran as a moderate conservative - however, this proposal is at best, moderately liberal.

I also have a real problem with people telling me not to state my opinions publicly. I usually say something like f*** off, but I wanted to see where this argument went, so I restrained myself.

Nope, wrong, think rasberry buzzers going off all around you. Bush has a duty to the ideals written on a piece of parchment, and then a duty to obey and enforce all those pesky laws, rules and regulations that he and Congress seem so fond of.

Voters are not stockholders, sorry. I'm not familiar with a ruling similar to Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. binding the President. Are you?

... so I restrained myself.
