Sen. Arlen Specter, who has never been president and therefore hasn’t a clue what it’s like to lead the free world, wants to remind President Bush that he’s not the sole decision maker in this democracy.
“I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider,” Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said during a hearing on Congress’ war powers amid an increasingly harsh debate over Iraq war policy. “The decider is a shared and joint responsibility,” Specter said.
Fine. Whatever.
I’m really tired of Specter wettin’ his pants every time Bush makes a call in the war on terror. His disingenuousness is over the top. Obviously he’s got the power to change things. He can join the likes of those who want to cut off funding for the troops. Yet, all I hear from him is the same ol’ piss and moan dance.
