“I hope you realize that the President can only do what Congress allows him to do “
Not really responsive to what I said. Bush has been unable to use the bully pulpit of the presidency when he had a strong case to make, time and again. Few argue that point. He’s just not an articulate and convincing speaker, no matter how much strong evidence he has at his disposal. That has cost his goals and those who support him dearly.
Has nothing to do with what Congress will or will not agree with.
