It's a long list. It dates back to around the beginning of 2002.

I never voted for President Bush for in a presidential election. I voted for Keyes in the primary, and Browne in the election. Just to give you an idea of what my politics are.

I don't agree with President Bush on several issues. But congress controls spending, not the president. It's written in the Constitution that way. Spending issues fall to congress. Period.

Blaming the president for the budget is like blamining a pencil for speeling misteaks.

Much of the spending increases have been at his behest, and none have been condemned by him. He most definitely shares the blame.

Of course, other presidents have vetoed bills that they thought were bad. Clearly This President doesn't disapprove of anything passed so far.

No one is holding a gun to his head to sign the budget..and look and see the presidential plans that are put into the budget ...with all the congressmen promising not to sign on unless they get some pork too.
