Bush: Why We Lost Control Of Congress
by sarabeth at 6:00 am on April 5th, 2007 in Bush Man DateI didn’t realize this till yesterday, but here’s why President Bush looks so pissed off all the time these days.
He thinks that American voters think that the Republican Congress we had until so very recently wouldn’t support our troops who are in harm’s way, they wouldn’t give money to the troops, they insisted on telling our generals how to fight the war. That’s why America voted the bums out.
Here’s the President, in his own words, explaining to David Gregory why voters gave Democrats a majority in both houses last fall:
Q Mr. President, you say the Democrats are undercutting troops, they way they have voted. They’re obviously trying to assert more control over foreign policy. Isn’t that what the voters elected them to do in November?
THE PRESIDENT: I think the voters in America want Congress to support our troops who are in harm’s way. They want money to the troops. And they don’t want politicians in Washington telling our generals how to fight a war.
