Come on. The president is entitled to change his mind if he explains why. He said that he agreed with the need for campaign reform but there were some things with the bill he did not like. Anyway, where were all the republicans in the senate. They voted for CFR. Be angry at them, not at the President. If he does not sign it he will be smeared all over the papers and the TV and why should he endure such grief when he knows the SC will find parts of it unconstitutional. You chill out and quit the whining. No need to tow the line but also no need to abandon ship. Such fickle friends the President doesn't need.

With 80% approval ratings I think he could take the flack he'd get for NOT signing it. He can afford a little political capitol if he goes on t.v. and explains exactly why the bill is unconstitutional and why he cannot in all good conscience sign it. The country would be with him.

If there is one thing President Bush HAS been consistent with, it is to expect the unexpected (within the bounds of the low expectations given to him by many freepers). For example:

Kyoto Treaty- Kicked to the curb
Stem Cell- no new stem cell research
Tax Cuts- you got em'!

Shall I go on? Every single time someone has claimed to have this man pegged, they have been wrong. Some need to give the President a hell of a lot more consideration- especially when he has proven he can accomplish his goals by even out-thinking some of the most astute pundits- including some of those here on fr.com.
