"HUBRIS, meaning pride or arrogance, is a very human flaw

The notion that "God told him so" coming from a Christian who should understand better Bush's relationship with God is rather offensive. But you got your cheap dig at Bush in.

president's reference to god

I wondered what might shape his speech-writing. imbo it is best to find the source of the spring before you drink the water.

or has Christians working for him? So what?

I was giving background to another reply

Pure irrational, venomous, foaming at the mouth hate. Are we supposed to compare the President to Son of Sam or lie and claim God is tellng him what to do (Rob KNOWS it's a lie; we've been over this before) or call him a tyrant? Isn't that slightly contrary to Lee's request for civility?

I've hit the nuclear button again.

from Mainstream media accounts like this one. I don't like his ignoring the Constitution or the law of the land more than 750 of which he hs said dont' apply to him. Your characterization of my views bears no resemblance to the actual views I hold or the reasoning behind them, Please stop putting words I didn't say and thought I didn't think into my mouth. Bush has used executive privilege more than any President in history and probably more than all the Presidents in history combined. FDR with a real war on two fronts trod on the constitution far less, but I deplore that too. I dont lie, but thanks for the personal attack twice. I don't recall saying that you lie, though I have certainly gotten that impression, but I am not saying it. It is an opinion I hold in confidence. Like everyone else here I pick news items that I find important and credible. I get my news stories from the Mainstream Media where they fact check the story, and I usually have more than one source. I don't patronize the paid political spew factories like FoxNews and NewsMax and all the rest. Bush believes he is above the law, he's said so on TV.

If you dont'like the truth about your little political hack, tough. You elected him.

Rob.

prefer to believe GWB was elected TWICE.....most of what you spew to be credible facts regarding his behavior and policies as President came to light prior to the SECOND election, and he was STILL re-elected. He still has a year and a half to serve and then you will be rid of him, Rob, but be careful of what you wish for because the NEXT election could very well be the true nightmare you believe you are in right now, depending upon who gets to sit in that hotseat the next time.

And I hope that if it is the liberal you want that you are just as adamant about coming in here and complaining non-stop with your mainstream media stories about him/her about what a joke we have for a President again because I suspect it will be far worse than anything you believe is going on right now.....however, I suspect that you will continue to blame GWB for everything again that happens with the new President because of what you see to be a mess he will leave behind for others to clean up.

The problem with that theory, however, is that every President has had a previous mess to clean up that they inherited, and they've done it however they felt possible. Some ideas worked well; other ideas made the problem worse, and history has proven that over and over again.

No matter what you believe, the war in Iraq isn't going to be over soon and will become an even worse situation should the 'new' President pull our troops out due to civil pressure to do so. Also, no matter what you believe, if GWB really believed he WAS above the law, he would have been impeached already or at the very least a full investigation and impeachment charges brought like they were for Clinton. Nothing has ever turned up that convinced people in authority to begin that process or even consider it on a serious level. There are some laws that, during wartime, the President has the ability to go one step further than the law allows, and that doesn't make him a 'law-breaker' even though you truly wish it were so.

You can't do anything about GWB sitting in that chair so why not give it a rest until the next election and then tackle the new fall guy who doesn't play according to the rules YOU think he/she should be following? It would sure be nice to come into SE for a change and not see your threads go into the toilet immediately just because you derive so much pleasure out of bashing our President repeatedly and in such book-length admonishments in an attempt to prove your point. You forget that your point stopped counting when he was elected....twice....and neither he nor anybody with the power to do your wishes are paying any attention. Maybe that's really the part that's yanking your short hairs so badly.......
