On Friday, President Bush kept the nation in business by siging a temporary resolution to continue funding the government until Congress approves new spending:
Bush Signs Bill To Fund Government Agencies Through Dec. 8
HANOI -(Dow Jones)- With lawmakers still working on 10 appropriations bills for fiscal 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush signed a resolution into law that will keep government agencies running through Dec. 8. Dow Jones
But in a little known addendum to that resolution, President Bush issued a signing statement regarding the recent congressional elections:
"The executive branch shall construe the recent congressional elections in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President as Commander in Chief. The election of the Democrat Party will not hinder the Executive from protecting the American people from further terrorist attacks. This will assist in achieving the shared goals of the Executive and the American people who desire freedom." La Prensa Kostina
Sorry Dems, you thought you won an election? Pshaw! The Executive doesn't recognize you!
We all wondered what Rove and Bush had planned now that they will no longer have the stamp of approval from the Rubberstamp Republican Congress. Now we know! The Administration simply will not recognize the new Congress!
"We've reviewed the Constitution and we feel our case is a strong one," said Presidential Spokesman Tony Snow. "The Democrat Party can either continue to be obstructionsists, or they can join with President Bush and the American people in moving the country in the right direction. La Prensa Kostina
That would explain why they've just announced new plans for a $125,000,000 Detention Center in Guantanamo, Cuba.
That would explain why Bush is putting up the same rejected nominees for the courts.
That would explain why Bush announced before the elections that he's going to reintroduce cuts to and privitazation of Social Security in the last 2 years of his term.
That would explain Bush's plan to re-nominate John Bolton to the United Nations.
That would explain why Bush decided to make his own study group insteaad of listen to the bipartisan commission's recommendations on getting out of Iraq.
That would explain Bush's appointment of a Contraception foe to head contraception programs!
That would explain Bush's arrogance in saying "that's not going to happen" when asked before the elections how he would work with a Democratic Speaker Pelosi.
He's not going to.
And it's so much easier this way.

you need to add "satire" to the tags...
although, knowing how much bush likes to kill innocent people in his terror war and knowing how many democrats cheer for the Israel lobby's push for Iran...it would be more satirical if the headline read...
"Democrat Party Victory not binding, Israel lobby tells Pelosi to change parties and invade Iran"
LOL, great headline!
I hate advising a reader that the article is satire.
To do so seems like treating the reader like a dummy.
I understand, but you were suspended because of some dummies...at least that's what it seems on the surface.
I am curious as to why so many do state an article is satire upfront. Are you saying people get suspended because they don't indicate that?
