@Reality strikes....It's time we stop blaming the Bush administration for things that occur under OBAMA'S presidency! Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law, not Bush. Obama COULD'VE VETOED it, but he didn't! But is that a shock to anyone? He's violated the Constitution so many times, I've lost count; and now he's considering--and being advised to so by demoncrats--sidesteping Congress, by using executive powers to raise the debt ceiling, and enforce new gun control laws, which haven't been legislated by Congress. He has no respect for the checks and balances of our government, which were created to best serve "we the people," and prevent one branch from an abuse of power--something Obama is getting really good at. At some point, we must lay aside our political differences, and demand that EVERYONE be held accountable for their actions!
