    @Liberal Uber Alles- "delusional"

    Then, that makes Obama and his supporters quite complicit in securing what was handed to them by Bush's new and generous executive powers, if they know he will not squander them away to satisfy us-- Three-branches-for-a-reason-types.

    Much delusion to go around the bramble "Bush", I'd say.

    Now, for that bridge to nowhere that promises conveyance to a less-tyrannical form of governing--I'm hiking it with my delusions in check.
