Bush disappointed?

Now he can’t invade, at least not right now ( I kid, but you know Bush likes to invade countries on little more than a leader saying mean things). But did you read the Constitutional Changes that Chavez wanted to institute, they are the exact type of executive Powers that Cheney has been pushing for. I’ll bet Bush sees a kindred spirit in Hugo. After all he did see into Putin’s soul and look what a good guy Putin turned out to be.

One of the things the Chavez wanted to do was remove legal controls on his actions when a state of emergency exists, one that he would declare. Just like Bush did with his “we are at war” stuff (which we are not b/c only Congress can declare war and that has not happened). Not that it’s a new idea…all executives/royals that wanted to expand their powers did so in “defense of the state/country/homeland”.

The Venezuelans voted AGAINST giving more power to the executive. Too bad America didn’t get to vote before Bush decided he was above the law.
