Will Bush walk away in 2009?

[Richard]

Obviously, the Democratic Party has chosen to be an impotent, faux-opposition party in this bad theater they call "The Two Party System".  

We all see now that impeachment is indeed completely "off the table".  So are a lot of things, like defunding the war, and giving any opposition at all to "Mr. 28 percent".  

Many of us have had a difficult time picturing how it's going to go in January of 2009.  It's hard to imagine Bush and Cheney just walking away from their unpopular but apparently supernaturally powerful positions as the leaders of the Only Superpower On Earth.  

Well on May 9, Bush quietly signed a directive that may ensure that he and Tricky Dick II don't have to hand over the reigns.  

It's called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive and provides Bush with everything he needs to provide "continuance" of, well, whatever he wants to "continue".

Don't worry. There won't suddenly be an emergency according to the official document and then Bush stays in office.

[Richard]

It sounds like Bush may be planning on staying in office forever. He’ll have so many wars going on that we’ll always be in emergency status.

If something huge cracks up before the official election then he may stay in office a little longer. I don't think the current war is considered an emergency since the news focus on elections.

[Richard]

I think Bush is planning something because otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered to sign that directive.

Good point Richard. That Directive has bothered me ever since I heard about it. You know what they say about too much power.
