And You Sir, Serve at the pleasure of the People
All this talk how "They serve at the pleasure of the pResident" Well here is the answer to that. You Sir, Serve at the Pleasure of the People. What makes you think the people do not deserve the truth? Why is your Administration so afraid of being under oath? It is the Pleasure of the People (Congress) that your cronies testify "Under Oath"..Are you suggesting that you do not serve at the pleasure of the people? The People are asking for an accounting..

1. No, Bush serves at the pleasure of rigged elections and a corrupt
United States Supreme Court.

2. As one of the people, I can honestly state without any reservations whatsoever
that it is NOT a pleasure to me having him serve. If anything, it's a burden, an insult, a problem, a catastrophe, and an abuse. But it is certainly NOT a pleasure.

4. No. Sorry. Wrong- wish he did.
to serve at the pleasure of, means that a person can be terminated at any time for any reason.

7. We're the Deciders.
Wow, that's good! Yet so basic. But I guess that's where we are these days. Down into the basics.

You know, Decider has a good ring in the right context.

8. He has nothing but contempt, scorn,
sneers and arrogance for the American people, Constitution, Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law, the Office of the Presidency, for Democracy. He can't or doesn't bother to even hide it. He's so goddamned nasty and supercilious in his press conferences.

10. He's not only suggesting that he doesn't
he's conducted his entire pResidency with nothing but disdain for the people. Somehow he has never understood that he works for the people, nor has anyone seemed to get that through his head.

Hopefully he will finally find out in the not-too-distant future.

11. He is serving at my displeasure but I do indeed want some accountability
I think in the arena of public opinion they are on the losing side. They may have the courts stacked but in the end the people will win out. I have to believe that...:-)
