Bush fires one across the bow...

Our glorious Decider-in-Chimp has managed to write something: an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. In it, he lays out his demands for the 110th Congress, such as...

"Now is not the time to raise taxes on the American people."

"It's time Congress give the president a line-item veto."

"[T]he Constitution leaves it to the president to use his judgment whether [bills] should be signed into law."

and...

"If the Congress chooses to pass bills that are simply political statements, they will have chosen stalemate."

I actually think the President does NOT need a line-item veto. What he needs is to be given bills that are not humongous packages of random statements, but clear-cut, well-defined bills that will show the American people exactly whose side he is really on.
