Congress Shows Bush Who’s Really the Boss

Posted on December 12th, 2007 by vicezilla

Bush is of course!

In a disgusting display of cowardice, Congress (you remember them. They were the ones elected to power with the promise of putting an end to Bush’s war in Iraq.) has caved in to Bush’s demands of spending more money for the Iraq war with no strings attached.

An extra $30 billion for the war in Iraq is what the Democrats are proposing, with a string attached of course. The string is not a timeline for troop withdrawal from Iraq, which everyone knows Bush would veto anyway. No, the string is an additional $11 billion for domestic programs. That’s right! Congress is now “bribing” the President for money for domestic programs by giving him money to prolong the war in Iraq!

Way to go Congress! That’s the way to put your foot down and assert your authority over the Government checkbook! What kind of a crazy, ludicrous, f#@%*d up mess have we gotten ourselves into?
