"The president cannot make laws and he is obliged to pass them."

Should read "...is obliged to follow them"

[oceanview]

congress would not have given a declaration of war in 2001.

[Eagles Talon IV]

Time's up, Leroy. Back to the land of the tinfoil hat and black helicopter.

[jackv]

Going to go watch it right now!! :O)

[bert]

Your problem is that you don't know how to prosecute a war. The speech is part and parcel of the prosecution of the war.

We have many enemies, many who are domestic.

[Eagles Talon IV]

Got me!!

Before the invasion of Iraq is the issue. The Pres could have nuked a bunch of capitals in 9/11 without much trouble. By 9/13 that time was past.

[Mo1]

Nah, it's an act. Even telling callers they are to never listen to his show ever again. All an act.

He reminds me of my one brother ... it ain't an act

[Eva]

Actually, Santorum has been doing an excellent job of explaining the Iraq and the WOT. The President would do well to let him take the lead on this in the Senate. It would help Santorum, as well.

[bert]

Savage doesn't think.

[top 2 toe red]

They are trying to grasp what he is talking about and picking themselves up off the floor.

...while sending all the interns out for massive amounts of extra absorbent "Depends!"

[RightWhale]

Okay, he needs some room now and then. Maybe him on his boat a few miles from anybody else. Just him and the birds out on the island.

[MOgirl]

"Savage is one of the few sane ones"




Hello,

That tells me all I need to know, thanks!

Just him and the birds out on the island

Great .. then he can scream at himself

Face it .. the guy is a nut

[Txsleuth]

Yeah...he was Joe Reeder...and I missed most of what he said...because when he started out by saying that Bush was passing the buck...I muted the TV...LOL

[pollyannaish]

LOL.

Their going two need a case full in the next few months, I'm afraid.

[pollyannaish]

Oops.

Two=to

[Centurion2000]

With the War Powers Act, resolutions authorizing force are as close as a President can get to a declaration of war.

Then maybe the President and Congress should have used the full process to declare war properly. If they had, the Patriot Act would have been unnecessary and the laws against sedition would have come into play.

We aren't fighting a war; we haven't fought one since World War II.

[RightWhale]

No problem. George Noory is also totally sane.

[tioga]

Exactly right.
