Snow Tells Congress - Bush Will Do As He Pleases

Watching the White House press conference yesterday was a surreal experience. Tony Snow, chief apologist for the administration basically told the press that Bush would do whatever he wants, Congress be damned. Here are his words verbatim when referring to a possible move by Congress to limit funds for the war: "You know, Congress has the power of the purse…. The President has the ability to exercise his own authority if he thinks Congress has voted the wrong way."

Snow was asserting what Bush has believed all along that he is a "unitary executive" or in more realistic terms a dictator. The decider, now dictator will take whatever measures he wants even though the American people and Congress oppose him. When asked about the November election Snow said Bush does not read it as a referendum on the war. "The President believes that -- if you take a look… at the elections, you can read any number of messages."

Why aren’t Americans marching on Washington demanding this megalomaniac resign for the good of the country? Bush and his cronies are effectively ruling like third world despots and must be called for their actions. We must pressure our Congresspersons to Impeach this criminal regime before there is no freedom to do so left.
