Relax and take a deep breath, Weazel ol' pal. Every president since George Washington has been accused by someone of trying to create an "imperial presidency" (with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter...hmm...perhaps that's why they gave him that Nobel Prize). I have great faith that the checks and balances laid out in our constitution will prevent such a thing from happening. I don't think you'll find many who would see the event which inspired this thread as proof of such intent on the part of this President. Now if we suddenly started to see 50-foot tall likenesses of President GWB springing up across the land (like the Saddam ones you see at every place the UN inspectors visit), then I'd admit the possiblity that the power was going to his head. In the mean time, if our form of government survived the outrageous miss-use of power by WJC, it will certainly survive GWB. I still prefer the latter over the former, and by a considerable margine.
