Why does Bush think its "his government"?

Question

Regarding the no confidence vote for Gonzalez, Bush said:"They can have their votes of no confidence, but it's not going to make the determination about who serves in my government,"

Last I checked, it was OUR government, not his. He works for us, ALL of us. Isn't he an arrogant little twit?

My my, you cons have developed such thin skins you might catch cold. Poor little babies.

Answer 1

Yeah, some folks will just say that he misspoke & meant to say "my administration."

I, for one, think he said exactly what he meant. . . probably nobody was feeding him the appropriate comments through an earbug just then.

Answer 2

What you heard was the sound of a Dictatorship in it's early phase. If the sheeple wake up now, it could be too late ! As long as the 'Bushrovians' control the Courts,Justice dept,and the media,there is no way to get'm out ! I'm putting my money on the 'weather' ! Global Climate Change is gonna bring down the curtain on the 'Industrial Revolution' as it exsits today. The whole world is gonna be on the defense with that ! We only got this one little wet rock in space....let's not blow it up !

Answer 3

The Constitution says "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."

As an officer of the Executive Department, absent criminal behavior giving grounds for impeachment, the officers of the Executive Department serve at the will of the President.

Bush was elected President (twice) and has hiring (with advise and consent of the Senate) and firing power in the Executive Branch.

Answer 4

I believe you hit the nail with a hammer my friend.. We would all be better off if BUSH had DIED in his Sleep of natural causes Ten (10*) years ago........ Why would we want to pay this type of person a Government Pension for the rest of his life, and provide him with Secret Service Protection to boot?? My Government.. Do you believe it.. UNBELIEVABLE..................

Answer 5

It is our government, but it is his administration. As far as I know, the President has very broad power when it comes to appointing who is in his/her Cabinet and when they should leave. The President essentially has the power, of course with the approval of the Senate to appoint any adviser he/she chooses. Only by impeachment can a Cabinet member be removed by Congress.

Answer 6

Bush doesn't care what you think.
It's his government because we've proven that we are unwilling, or unable, to stop him from doing exactly what he wants.
Why should he think otherwise?
And remember, he has popularity polls regularly running in the high 20's...and he can still do whatever he wants.

Answer 7

I guess every President thinks of himself in terms of "his Presidency but this whole Gonzales issue along with the immigration bill he supports makes me, a conservative, very cross!

Answer 8

Hmmm. I suspect the remark has to do with his upbringing, the whole rich-kid frat-boy crack-head mentality. I doubt he was ever denied any one single thing he ever wanted.
This sort of mentality arises when one is born with a silver spoon up one's *ss.

Answer 9

cuz since bush's title is "The president of the united states" he thinks he can do whatever he wants, and does not really know that congress and everyone else in this country disagrees with him. he should resign before his approval rating oes down even lower.

Answer 10

well he also said god wanted him to be president.
so i guess in his pea brain this is his government,
and what ever he wants he should be able to have
or he will hold his breath and turn blue.
