Can someone please explain to President Little Boots, and while they're at it our media and Congress, that he is not the commander in chief of the American people, and not the commander in chief of his staff, and not the commander in chief of congress, but simply the commander in chief of the military?
His failure to understand that distinction might be cute and funny, except for the fact that it implies he believes our country is a military dictatorship.
Woodward says the president told him that when he chairs a meeting he often tries to be provocative. When Woodward asked him if he tells his staff that he is purposely being provocative, Mr. Bush answered: "Of course not. I am the commander, see?"
No Dan Rather, he isn't your commander-in-chief. Or mine.
