You are forgetting that the President, including the strong bush 
adminstration which likes to pass the buck and give the impression that 
someone else is always to blame, has  to sign the budget. Don't forget 
the Clinton confrontations with Congress over the budget. Those 
confrontations lead to a balanced budget and very good economic years.

The President has the power of the pulpit which is not being used by 
bush. Its not a weak bush administration, but purposeful weak leadership 
on this issue. At this point I sign off on this thread. Soon, if not 
immediately, someone will complain about this being off topic, which it is.
