They SAY that it shows that the President isn't working hard enough for whatever the bill or amendment is about...if he doesn't personally get involved...
What part of "President Bush doesn't play the "lip service" game"....do they not understand...
President Bush is a fun guy...and enjoys a good laugh, but I daresay...that he takes his job too seriously for the congresscritters to think that he isn't working hard enough on HIS end....I am sure he expects the congresscritters to work to do THEIR jobs equally as hard.
Amazing how arrogant Congress critters are about their "Co equal branch of Govt" status until we actually ask them to lead on anything. Then it is "Why isn't Bush DOING something about this". Also interesting to watch Freepers who should know better. Funny how the Bash Bush Always crowd never seems to grasp the concept that CONGRESS controls the purse strings. It is always "why isn't Bush doing anything about Spending" never ever seem to criticize their Congressperson for it.
