Sometimes I think that these folks must have their bodies contorted into pretzels, because they work SO HARD to prove that Bush is eeeeevil.
My concern over the power of the executive was shared by many here during the Clinton administration. As you may recall, a popular saying here was "Stroke of the pen, law of the land", in reference to Clinton's abuse of executive orders. Now that "Their man" is in office, many FReeper's memories seem to suffer, and whatever the executive does is A-OK (that is if it is to their liking).
When the Democrats eventually retake the presidency, suddenly it will again be fashionable here to complain about abuses of excessive executive powers. But the same lack of memory will be present as Republicans will forget just who gave the executive those powers to abuse. With a strait face, they'll say it's all the Democrats fault. Just watch.
