Der Bushenfuhrer


Looks like C-Plus Caligula may have under gone a metamorPHOsis [/John Rhys-Davis in I, CLAUDIUS) and become....a god.

Or at least the dictator he's always wanted to be.

CNN reports:

as the Social Security debate continues to unfold, do not underestimate President Bush's ability to still get his ideas enacted. Indeed, even without broad Congressional or public support, President Bush just may have an ace up his sleeve. How might he enact his private accounts idea without such support, you may ask? By executive order.

...if President Bush uses the tool to change Social Security, it will be the fourth major arena in which he has meaningfully advanced policy using presidential directives. Indeed, he has almost single-handedly created his multi-billion dollar faith-based initiative through executive orders, allowing churches and religious institutions access to taxpayer money for drug treatment, mentoring and other social service programs.

Second, as The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh and others have reported, presidential directives have guided much of the covert war on terrorism. Third, President Bush has significantly relaxed regulations and oversight of a number of large business industries via executive order.

Critics of executive orders note that Congress and the courts rarely overturn such directives, thereby raising the specter of unchecked, un-reviewed and potentially even presidential abuse of power.


Well, what did you EXPECT from a spoiled rich kid who's always gotten whatever he wants and thrown tantrums until people do his bidding?

I've felt now for over 4 years that the republic fell on December 12, 2000. Looks like I was right.

Heil Bush, American Diety and Dictator-For-Life.

R.I.P. America. It was fun while it lasted. The Fellowship has failed.
