Bush response to "UnChecked Power" allegations

[RussiaTodayBrainWash]

i personally liked Bush, he wasn't afraid of anyone, Bush would be ready...I agree with what MOST of Bush did

[Born2Flesh]

Was Bush the first King of The USA?

[ck1kid]

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

[Origin305]

its unchecked powers. In my opinion Bush failed to answer the question. The only thing he says was that he takes an oath. Thats about all the checking he mentioned.

Well he left a great setup for the next puppet. Dictator powers.

[bzzkirk]

he gets to go worship an owl named Moloch in late July...in Bohemian Grove...he needs to rot in hell. He is an implement of Lucifer.

[cool555breeze]

Dipshit...

[nickmollo]

Sadly it is an Authentic video.

[nickgators]

fake video

[generalmaximus5302]

well you suck at it pres...he is soo lying...he has conrtol over everything...its called "executive privilage"

[420psilocybe]

the powers that be check themselves, and they think they are doing great.

[Langfordc]

His "oath" obviously means nothing...and jimberkt is exactly right, Bush says, "we're talking to Congress all the time..." - which means absolutely nothing. So, in a way, he is admitting he has complete, unchecked power. This is a scary situation we've allowed our country to be in. It makes me want to run for Congress and try to kick out all the corrupt assholes who are screwing our country up!

[eric0u812]

he might be talking to them but what they have to say is falling on deaf ears.

[Langfordc]

so true, and yet so sad.

[kihadat]

what are the checks and balances for the president of the united states? what kind of question is that to ask outside of a high school government class?

[DIrtyMongo]

Just because he makes it through an entire question without stuttering or spitting up on himself doesn't mean he is correct.

[DIrtyMongo]

The question is about separation of powers doctrine.

The test the Supreme Court has adopted since Youngstown Steel is that the President has the greatest power when he acts with the authority of Congress. This has never been held to include merely "briefing" members of Congress on a program. The authority has to come from Congress through the legislative process.

[someguy1000]

Reasoned arguments supported by facts have no place on the YouTube comments section. Apologize.

[dfiney]

Its the 1930s all over again!!!!

[HumbleObserver]

Wow he actually said all that shit without making himself look like a fuckwitt, even if he is lieing. I think there might be hope for this man yet, no wait the mans satin personified, my mistake.

[jimberkt]

Hes not clear or concise. The first 'check' he describes is his own personal oath, then he says he talks, not listens, to congress. He doesnt respond at all to the idea of the perpetual war on terror providing a large timescale over which to gradually increase the powers of the executive.

[ChurchCornrnittee]

Yo, I dislike Bushit as much as many here but in this particular question and answer, Bush is clear, concise and correct. The reporter's question is loaded and sounds kind of insane.

[thegiantpaperpanda]

He obviously has an earpiece of some kind.

[angelinakitty]

HE IS SUCH A LIAR. HE HAS NEVER SPOKEN A WORD OF TRUTH. HE HAS NO SHAME. just a devil and truly scary "man".

[macumberledge]

"...we're cockin' da Congress all da time..." WOW...how true that is cock 'n BULL all the time...how embarrassing

[dregsta]

hes a fucking puppet!

[ronze1787]

long live KING GEORGE, whether we like it or not

[cuv4xd]

Again, an ass. The man is so arrogant and full of himself that not even he can see it. What a pathetic looser indeed. This is the symbal of the people in America? I strongly doubt it.

[alanknipmeyer]

Hes a sith lord

[xMannyfestox]

Liar, fucking liar.

[gark11]

Bush lies!

[faraskhan]

[questionOauthority]

ur dumb

[soulstar1982]

that is really scary...

[gnarkilleptic]

amazing how he got so defensive and mentioned he's a dictator when nobody brought that word up. Is King George feeling guilty?

[bcwrox]

He has told so many lies that he know believes them himself. The sad thing is that there are a lot of Americans that believe his crap too.

[xoandre]

How does Bush know what we expect him to do? All we have seen is exactly what he "rejects" - that is... dictatorial powers...
