Bush the Lawless.

He is openly defiant of what his duties of President are.

The traditional Republicans should be in an uproar over the fact that Bush views himself not as President but as Command in Chief. There is a crucial distinction in the two roles that the president is charged with in the Constitution. The view that is supported by this administration's lawyers and supporters, like John Yoo, is that the President should simply be "trusted".

However it is with sad experience that Mr. Bush cannot be trusted with any national security matter. From the first incident of having the Chinese force down an American surveillence plane to the outing of an active CIA agent specializing in WMD proliferation, Mr. Bush has a history of allowing politics to overcome his duty to protect and defend the United States from foreign powers. I would further argue that Mr. Bush has, through his administration's actions, have helped weaken America's security.

This is not in dispute but many experts in the national security field have been telling us that Bush deserves an "F" in protecting the people of this nation. Ask Bob Graham or Gary Hart or Warren Rudman as to what effect Mr. Bush and his administration has had in developing and implementing an effective national security policy through the Department of Homeland Security.

What everyone should be made aware of is that Mr. Bush and his cohorts have always placed politics above the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the safety of all Americans.
