Confused again

Bush on Congress' recently passed troop funding bill:

“Instead of fashioning a bill I could sign, the Democratic leaders chose to further delay funding our troops, and they chose to make a political statement,” Mr. Bush said Tuesday morning before leaving for New York. “That’s their right. But it is wrong for our troops and it’s wrong for our country.”

Someone should probably tell our decider-in-chief that making political statements is precisely what politicians are supposed to do. And in a democracy, it's not the job of Congress to pass only the bills the president agrees with. You know, separation of powers and all that civics 101 nonsense.

Someone also should clue him in on that pesky federal law known as the War Powers Act.
