in some countries

if the 'elected' leader chose to disregard the laws of the people and the votes of other elected officials and just go on and do as HE wants to, well, they would be called a DICTATOR wouldn't they?
why aren't we calling OURS a dictator?

To Implement Policy, Bush to Turn to Administrative Orders

By Michael Abramowitz and Jonathan Weisman Washington Post Staff Writers
The White House plans to try implementing as much new policy as it can by administrative order while stepping up its confrontational rhetoric with Congress after concluding that President Bush cannot do much business with the Democratic leadership, administration officials said.
According to those officials, Bush and his advisers blame Democrats for the holdup of
Judge Michael B. Mukasey's nomination to be attorney general, the failure to pass any of the 12 annual spending bills, and what they see as their refusal to involve the White House in any meaningful negotiations over the stalemated children's health-care legislation.
White House aides say the only way Bush seems to be able to influence the process is by vetoing legislation or by issuing administrative orders, as he has in recent weeks on veterans' health care, air-traffic congestion, protecting endangered fish and immigration. They say they expect Bush to issue more of such orders in the next several months, even as he speaks out on the need to limit spending and resist any tax increases. ............

man, the above couple of paragraphs makes it sound like king george is a great and powerful OZ, trying to protect the children, the men, the women of america. trying to protect the little fishies and the birds and the bees (as long as they're not of color OR gay that is). wow, i guess i was wrong thinking he was evil and soul-less and only out to line his own pockets and the pockes of his good ol' white boy network. dang!
