I've seen what Bush can do, and I think the country deserves *much* better.
Perhaps we'll get something done if we have a President who is interested
in working WITH Congress instead of ORDERING them around and then whinning
about the mean nasties who won't do what I tell them to do...Any person
who blames someone else for what is at least partly *his* fault has
no business running this country...

Since Bush thinks he's Harry Truman, perhaps he should have a sign on
his desk..."The buck stops there, not here..."
