Really? Decision-maker?

Now I try not to get too uppety about politics because I don't know that much about it. I know what I don't like. I don't like people lying to me, passing the bill, or being treated like I don't understand the complications behind certain military actions. For instance, if you caught the Daily Show last night, you would have noticed that Dick Cheney flat out denies being wrong. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS EVIDENCE. I hate that shit.

But anyways, it looked as if once this Democratic Congress got elected that the president was changing his tune and would be open-minded to working with the Democrats. Well throw that out the window.

In a move that could only be considered confusing at best, Bush said that he is the "decision-maker" on the number of troops we send to Iraq.

I do not even know if he understands how the political process works. I really don't think he does. It appears that he thinks he can just strong-arm Congress into doing whatever the hell he wants, and it just doesn't work that way. He probably thinks he's more of a dictator.

Congress will have to approve whatever he proposes. And just by naming himself 'decision-maker' isn't going to influence their thoughts one way or the other. So, in all actuality, he's not even close to the decision-maker.

But you have to love his midguided insistence otherwise.
