I suppose speaking under oath is dangerous for a president? LMAO

Bush is a sick, sick person.

Answer 1

Congress, by not standing up when he started to usurp their powers and make them his own. By not doing the checks and balances which were mandated in our Constitution to ensure that the President cannot run amok. this is why the Congress has the power to order the trial of a President

Answer 2

in short I disagree. right here's a quick checklist. Punishing activity makers purely decreases jobs made. while the country mandatory a frontrunner Reagan became a guy that stood up and led. Did he could better than teach that usa became to no longer toyed with? I say no. by way of fact of this they dared no longer save the hostages after his inauguration. yet he did extra did no longer he. customer spending and self assurance became at one its maximum tiers ever in this u . s . a .. we could ask why. i think of the respond is sparkling nevertheless. all of us had jobs. Jobs that payed properly ans jobs that have been preserve. So spending became severe. oh wait he did even better than than that. He introduced the tip of the chilly conflict. We observed the U.S. bypass republic and the berlin wall became torn down. we could see what did the banana head in workplace do? Oh yeah better government dependence so as that the conventional man or woman had to word for and take care of government help. this is splendid he's a good chief. He led the conventional American to government dependence.

Answer 3

Its a witch hunt you Left have nothing better to do do you?? Tell me Lefty what has your party done latly other than Bit*ch?? Nothing is getting passed is it?? Nope!! Now let us turn the tables. Lets say you a manager of a company and you have a few employees that are not say working out for you. After warning them several times they change nothing what do you do?? According to the Left you keep paying them forever correct. Well in the real world you get fired!!! Its the Presidents right to do that get a clue!!!

Answer 4

There have been many poor presidents: Ulysses S. Grant, Jimmy Carter, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, to name a few.

What President Bush is doing is legal. He wants to keep the powers separate as they should be. It's the Dems in congress that want to usurp power and try to get something done as it should not be.

All of you who think you know better, turn off your CNN and whatever and start thinking for yourselves.

Answer 5

He always says that. I disagree vehemently - the power of Congress to elicit testimony through subpoena IS the essence of the Constitutional mechanism for congressional check of the executive. Bush doesn't get that, though, and his sidekick veep is the one taking lead on this posture, even if he's staying in the background.

Answer 6

Yea real Unbeleivable ... WHY ARE THE DEMS WASTING TAX PAYER $$$$$$$$.....
There has been no crime here. There has been no wrongdoing. The president is clearly permitted to fire U.S. Attorneys whenever he decides he wants to. He hires them, he fires them. Clinton fired every one of them. That had never happened before. He even fired the U.S. attorney who was in charge of the investigation of his wrongdoings with his pals at Madison Guaranty Federal Savings & Loan. Did Leahy demand hearings? Of course not! Leahy had no desire to manufacture a scandal a crisis in the Clinton administration .. but with an evil Republican in the White house, things are, of course, different.vowed revenge since the 2000 elections. They wanted a selective recount in Florida -- a recount of only heavily Democrat counties. They wanted the votes of our military personnel overseas tossed out. They didn't care that thousands of military votes in the Florida panhandle were lost when the major networks declared the polls closed and Bush the winner with one hour left to vote in the heavily Republican areas of Florida. Bush won ... and the Democrats just can't stand it. They've been dedicated to the destruction of all things Bush ever since --- even to the point of weakening America by working against Bush's efforts to fight Islamic Fascism. Now ... think of how things might have gone with the Democrats scandal-a-week strategy if the mainstream media hadn't been in the Democrats pockets for the past six years!
Why are Harry Reid and William Jefferson NOt being invetigated..... They actually BROKE the law.

Answer 7

James Earl Carter
followed by William Jefferson Clinton as a close second.

Why is it unbelieveable that the president wishes to keep the seperation of powers intact?????? You should be livid at the Democraps for making a big issue out of nothing and wasting your time and tax dollars on this crap of a whitch hunt.

Answer 8

The man is out of his mind. the democrats have the power but so far have been to chicken to do anything about this mess. Someone grow a pair and call for his impeachment along with Cheney and everyone else on his staff.

Answer 9

Yeah, he just won't learn will he? He also said in his speech yesterday that the attorney's resigned. I thought they got fired.

Answer 10

I'm watching Tony Snow trying to explain it. Unreal.
