Why all this WH infighting is a huge deal
It's not unusual to have competing camps in the WH. But most presidents actually have the ability to settle policy disputes and make a decision one way or the other. Bush, as we here on DU know well, clearly does not. His limitations in this area are patently obvious. This thing is going to keep festering and progressively worsen because Bush is so clueless he'll have no way to stop it. And Rove can't rescue him because Rove knows nothing about governing, only about intimidating Dems and the media and creating an image for Bush that has no substance. That's why I laugh out loud when I read comments from Repukes like Sen. Lugar asking Bush to take charge. HE CAN'T TAKE CHARGE. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!

1. It also shows that each ...
criminal in this administration has their own agenda. Let the back stabbing begin. It's what they do, and without a Dem in the White House, they are bound to go after their own.

Cheers

2. The think they know everything in the WH and how best to rule
That is our big problem. Each one seems to think he is right.

5. And since he's the president, that's HIS job
but he's so lacking in that area. He's not a leader at all.

6. All this is so painlessly obvious to us here on DU who have to dig out
the news. The masses are clueless because of the corporate media whoÕs protecting there own agenda and seem to delight in trying to keep the country in the dark. Ia this how in was in the USSR just 15 or so years ago when Pravda was the Òtruth of the dayÓ?
