"I'm the Commander-in-Chief" the boy king says with a stomp of his foot...
Bush gently admonished his father before the November 7 midterm elections for saying he hated to think what life would be like for his son if the Democrats won control of Congress. Bush's Republicans lost their majorities in both houses.

Asked whether he consults constantly with his father, Bush said: "No ... He understands what I know, that the level of information I have relative to the level of information most other people have, including himself, is significant and that he trusts me to make decisions."

Despite that, Bush has reached back to his father's administration for advice on a possible course shift in Iraq.

Besides nominating Gates, he is awaiting recommendations on Wednesday from a bipartisan panel co-chaired by James Baker, his father's former secretary of state.

Asked to comment on widespread view that his father's influence was coming to bear on his administration, Bush insisted: "I am the commander-in-chief."

I'm thinking a stomp of his foot was accompanied by that little tantrum. :rofl:

7. 6 years ago this arrogant sob came on board with" The Adults are in charge now"
Now, Bush languishes in swine fecal matter as his House of Shits dissolves into mush.

The Fall has been spectacular for those of us watching hoping for this. Its been 6 years but I can say its been worth it

9. Not that I don't get pleasure out of watching him and the repukes drown...
in their own fecal matter...

But it wasn't worth it, IMO. We've paid dearly as have many others and we'll continue to pay through our children and grandchildren. :(

13. That's what has bothered me. I've tried to figure it out, and I finally
see it. He says he's the commander-in-chief. Not the President. He never wanted to be, nor has acted like, a President. He has, and has always wanted to be, the big general, sitting back playing with his toy soldiers.

He came into the job thinking of himself as commander-in-chief, not as President. And what good is being commander-in-chief, if there is no war.

He never knew what his real job was...what that oath was he took. His mindset was totally different than what we expect of those who are supposed to lead this country.

16. He is Commander-in-Chief
Of the military ONLY. Someone should educate the little pissant. He's not my Commander-in-Chief, he's actually supposed to be my public servant.
