    What's the problem?

    But Cheney is the defacto President of the United States, so what's the problem? He's like the Self-Defense Forces in Japan, not recognized by the Constitution but existing nevertheless. I'm glad to see that Bush took the time to clarify who's really in charge at the White House. It's the kind of disclosure that I hope to see more of in the future.
