On January 22, a day before President Bush's "State of the Union" address I saw a
quick video snip on CNN where Tony Snow said "he (George Bush) understands his obligation as Commander-in-Chief
is to come up with solutions that not only are going to have political appeal, but they're also going to be
effective in making life better for Americans". In the same blip he also referred him simply as the "President".
Am I the only one that is weired out by the fact he used the term Commander in Chief instead of "President"? Myself, I consider the usage
of Commander in Chief as more of a military conotation. I find it odd that they would invoke this the day before the state
of the Union address. Is this further proof that OBB (Our Buddy Bush) considers himself a little military dictator? Wack job
conspiracy theorists must be licking their lips!
I was so bugged by the way the video clip came off I hunted down the full
transcript
here. As it
turns out, I think the video clip took some thing out of context. Once you read the full exchange, I
simply think Snow was trying to elaborate on the different roles Bush has to play as President. One as leader
of the nation and it's internal direction, and another as the leader of it's military forces.
