I think Bushs main job as president is to act as a puppet for Karl Roves far right wing buddies to manipulate and get passed the laws they want. Whenever Bush makes his own mind up on issues congress and his cabinet come slamming down on him like a ton of bricks. Its especially aparant now in the twighlight years of his presidency. The best recent example of this is the whole fiasco in the states after P&O got bought out by Dubai ports and the US when nuts because they dont want arabs owning their ports. It was fine for Brits to own them but not sand monkies.
Dubya didnt have a problem with it and urged calm stateing that the Saudis were one of the US's strongest allies blah blah but the Hawks in the senate basiclly told him otherwise and shot him down in flames. Its just the most reason example as I say.
He also made a comment about being turned into a quacking duck in the last part of his presidency as he wont be able to do anything he wants and will be stopped at every turn with his own agenda.
Traditionally US presidents that gain a 2nd term use the 2nd term to get through their own pet projects and ideas for the country in order for the US to remember them for something good. So far all of Bush's ideas have been hamstrung before they get off the ground. As much as it pains me to say it maybe hes not as thick as he makes out. He just has to be that way because if he isnt he'll be out of a job and facing indictiment over drug use when he was in the forces or something along those lines.
Then again I dont trust a republic set up of govt there is too much room for coruption and I believe the USA is corupt to the core.
