Interesting post, but have you forgotten ONE bigger issue that makes what you'd like seen done right now irrelevant.....WAR??? It's this and this alone that occupies him and War will make or break his Presidency.Can you truly say, Chris, that those things that animate you are as important as winning a War??

[BillofRights]

Hi habs! Which WAR might you be referring to? The WAR on drugs? The WAR on poverty? The War on our Second Amendment Rights? The War on our First, Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendment Rights? The WAR on the evil internet and our privacy Rights? Or the WAR on terrorism?

Our government has declared so many damn WARS, I can't keep track of them all. I know this -- everytime our government declares WAR, the people lose more Rights, property, and liberty, while the government expands its size, power, and reach. The only damn thing I want the government to protect is my Constitutional Rights -- the only thing it's not protecting.

Bush is a LIAR and a SOCIALIST!!

habs, we have this WAR because our government did not do it's job in protecting us. that is the second most important thing it should do next to protecting and defending the CONSTITUTION OF THE U.S. true, this happened on clinton's watch. BUT! look who is defending the CIA and FBI now!! instead of heads rolling and people being fired and the FBI being completely dismantled and reorganized, they are rewarded for their corruption and incompetency by president bush. they will get more money thrown at them and, oh by the way, more power to control us, spy on us, and further corrode our LIBERTIES.

DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT WE ARE BEING PROTECTED AND DEFENDED BY OUR BENEVOLENT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TODAY?? i sure don't!
