Return to Article: Whistleblower legislation faces veto threat

Given the Bush administration's record on abuses of power and retaliation against whistleblowers, I can't imagine why a veto would be threatened against any legislation which might protect those whistleblowers. Just ask Valerie Plame!

The problem as I see it is most people don't understand President Bush. Bush, with his limited intelligence, just doesn't understand the differences in being "president" and being a "dictator." Ninety percent of the American public could say they are against amnesty for illegal aliens and Bush would say "That doesn't matter, I'm going to do what I feel is right and dictate the way I feel I and my friends can benefit most." The bad part of it is, a lot if not most of our politicians aren't listening to what most Americans are saying either.
I'm not especially pro-union but something has to be in place to protect workers. It's evident that Bush doesn't want anybody to know what he and his buddies are doing and certainly doesn't want anybody able to stand up and blow the whistle when they see he and his cronies doing something wrong. That's evident by the day to day revelations we see on the news. I see Bush as a make believe leader who needs to take some real serious leadership courses. Bush has surrounded himself with "yes sir, you're right sir" people and clearly doesn't want people around him with differing opinions.
Bush also makes a big show about what he's going to do if there are wrongs but never follows through with his promises. Just this morning, I heard one of his kiss-up military leaders saying we can't put a time table on leaving Iraq, which just isn't right. We have to review our goals and make decisions based on these goals. Well I'm sorry to say but we've had years to meet goals and we haven't met any. As I see it we're worse off today than we were when we started. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I voted for Bush because there was no other choice. It was either vote for the Republican dummy or the other Democrat fiasco. Now, I can only say if Bush was gone tomorrow, it wouldn't be soon enough.

This administration has done everything in its power to undermine the federal worker, i.e. Max HR, dismantling employee protection clauses via the dismemberment of the MSPB. This is another way of covering up gross mismanagement, fraud, waste and abuse in the highest levels of government.
Case in point, billions of dollars in unaccounted for funds that have been embezzled, stolen or misappropriated in Iraq.
Who has been called to the carpet on this waste of precious tax dollars, no one, why, no protection for the whistleblowers?
Agencies like ICE, DEA and the like can't hire new agents or effectively do their jobs because the billions being wasted and squandered in Iraq.
Shameful and disgraceful for the this administration, grade f for failure overall!
