Bush to pretty much the entire world: "I'm the decider!"

We've come to expect a bullying machismo from the President and his lackeys at this point. He's proven in many different capacities that "He's the decider" whether it's his start to finish go-it-alone strategy in Iraq, his stubborn tax cuts for the rich approach to any economic situation, or his continued obsession with dismantling (although he refers to it as saving) of social security.

Well, the latest decree from King George is that he has the ultimate power to control regulatory guidelines for business, energy, health, safety, and privacy issues or his direct political appointees will do that for him rather than career experts in the above mentioned fields. YEE HAW!!! Rodeo cowboys only have to stay on for eight seconds...we have to hang on to this beast for 8 years. Only 2 to go.
