If you ever had the idea that George Bush thinks he is King of the United States, this article should help convince you, he does think he is the King.
Nothing in the article tells me the man has a sane thought at any point in the day. You can't tell him anything, he is always right.
The question I want to know is: Is there anything legal about a signing statement? One more, why is this question not in the Supreme Court? Oh, I lost my mind -- he controls them too.

What an interesting article. This administration likes to pretend that it models itself after corporate America. So let's build a corporate analogy.
The American people are shareholders who elect Congress as our primary representatives on a Board of Directors and a president to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States as CEO under our country's corporate charter. Congress is the Board of Directors and the President is the CEO. One of the primary tasks of Congress (Board of Directors) is to determine the budget of the United States and where that money should be allocated.
This CEO of this corporation refuses to respect the wishes of the Board of Directors elected by the shareholders. The CEO refuses to keep the Board of Directors informed of his actions. Time and time again the CEO snubs the Board, and acts as an independent agent in violation of the Constitution of the United States -- the equivalent of a corporate charter. The shareholders have been polled and this CEO has scored under 30 percent and we shareholders believe that he is doing a very poor job. I believe the employees of this corporation would give the CEO an even lower rating.
The Charter is clear on how to handle a "cowboy" who violates the Charter. This is a bipartisan issue and goes to the very heart of the management and viability of the corporation. It is time for this Board of Directors to reassert itself and act for the good of the corporation called the United States of America Inc.
If the analogy doesn't work perhaps we aren't a corporation after all.
