Why Nobama

I agree. I think Bush is a POC, but disregarding him, it's the reps that want less laws, more freedoms.

It's in the nature of any politician or bureaucrat, regardless of party affiliation, to want more laws, not less. That is how they attempt to maintain control of an increasingly intelligent and angry electorate.

No, in Bushes Case it isn't more laws, it is simply making Laws to suit his needs
He as President has violated more Law then virutaly any President in our History

Congress repeatedly passes laws which tend to apply to everyone but the Congress. It doesn't really matter whether it is controlled by Democrats or Republicans. The only difference is in the types of laws enacted. And remember, too: the President cannot pass laws. Only the Congress can do that. I don't think the President can even propose laws directly. Only his cronies in the Congress can propose them, though he no doubt initiates many of them.

And one other thing to remember. Although the Republicans have raised the national debt to record levels, the real problems with our economy didn't start until after the Dem's took control of Congress. I don't think we can honestly blame the current problems on only one person or party. It's everyone's fault, President, Congress, the banks, Wall Street, even the average American, who sees nothing wrong with building massive credit card debts. We are all to blame, to one degree or another.

I know only Congress can pass laws, but Bush seems to have the ability to "skirt" the law or interpret it the way that suits him regardless of the result
and he did the same thing as Governor Of Texas, he did it HIS WAY
He set some very ugly 1st's as Governorand has continued to as President, but Iwill give him credit for being consistant and he did not even win 1 term in Office, the Repulican Supremem Court gift wraped 1 term after Florida's Hanging Chad Fiasco
