Congress? Who Needs Congress?
Remember back in 2006 when the Democrats promised the American people that if elected to the majority, they would start holding the Bush Administration responsible for their activities. Some even suggested that some of the problems the country is facing can be traced back to a Republican Congress that simply "rubber-stamped" everything on the White House agenda.
Well times, have changed! And with Bush's presidency entering lame duck status, the time has come to slowly submit to a hostile legislative branch, and attempt to salvage any chance of a Republican at 1600 Pennsylvania come January 2009. Right?
Wrong!
His strength is sapped by an unpopular war, Democrats are running Congress, and the 2008 presidential election is in full roar, distracting attention from the president's priorities. With dwindling options, Bush has decided he might get more done in his final months by .
That's right! Now that Congress isn't giving Bush what he wants, he'll simply stop asking them to approve his programs and just start making changes himself. But surely these must be minor issues we're talking about here. No way would anyone in the White House be brazen enough to go after the big fish. Here are that Bush is attempting to bypass Congress on are:
- Immigration
- Energy
- Education
Like I said, minor issues. No need to bring Congress in on this. Let the monarchy mayhem continue! I would love to see the headline in tomorrow's paper, "President Bush Declares Legislative Branch Unnecessary: Disbands Congress."
