He's delaying the inevitable.
Even he understands the outrage of the situation and how it was allowed to go so bad so quickly.
Abuse of power is a powerful drug. He's going to have to kick it someday soon.

In a lot of ways, it's good that they're arguing: it means they have less time to focus on screwing up individual affairs. In regard to why, it's probably because President Bush knows he's doing the right thing in Iraq, and the Congress is trying to diminish that. Beyond Iraq, though, a lot of it is just politics.

Because he doesn't have to. Apparently, you have never heard of the separations of power clause. You have your job and I have my own. You can not tell me what to do, and you have the same protection.
Now Bush is finally being the President of the United States of America!
Bravo, Mr. President!

You don't recognize the political witch hunt the Democrats are on? Legislators know we have a Constitution. They know there is a separation of powers clause. They are ignoring precedent. The President's legal adviser and political adviser are not Human Resources managers. They therefore cannot have first hand knowledge about the hiring and firing of federal government employees.
The persons fired were attorneys. They know the law. You don't hear them complaining. Employment is a personal and personnel matter. The attorneys know what are their recourses if they feel they were wrongly fired.

Bush has tried to be an uniter for six years and what has it got him but show trails. Now it's time to play catch up.
Give the dems a string of vetoes and executive privilege responses.

Because Bush doesn't want to give up Rove too early.

I wonder that myself...
What happened to his promise of being the President who Unites not the President who Divides...he has become The Decider.

Haven't you noticed that he holds anyone that challenges his attempts at broad authority in contempt? He has usurped power he is not entitled to and has stolen civil rights from the people by scaring them into it. He is better suited to being a dictator than a president.

Why don't Congress cooperate with the Commander in Chief?

apparently, studies have shown that a group of men tend to make smarter choices than a single man. Bush is the single man. The dumb one. He's stubborn and thinks hes right. look how far that got us.
