Bush DOES Listen to his Commanders

As evidenced by the 97-200 meetings with Norquist and Reed.

My idea for a political commercial;

Shot of Bush making a speech: "I listen to the Commanders on the ground"

Voiceover: "President Bush is correct, he listens to his commanders. Why just the other day, the Secret Service revealed that he met over 200 times with Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed, both close associates of convicted swindler Jack Abrahamhoff. They tell Bush to jump, and he answers; 'how high?'.

If only he would listen to the American people like he listens to his Commanders"

WASHINGTON - Republican activists Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed landed more than 100 meetings inside the Bush White House, according to documents released Wednesday that provide the first official accounting of the access and influence the two presidential allies have enjoyed.

The White House released the Secret Service visit records to settle a lawsuit by the Democratic Party and an ethics watchdog group seeking visitors logs for the two GOP strategists and others who emerged as figures in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.

Earlier this month, the White House suggested to the judge in that lawsuit that such records need not be disclosed because the information was privileged and might reveal how Bush and his staff get private advice, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press.

White House officials said Norquist, who runs the nonprofit Americans for Tax Reform, was cleared for 97 visits to the White House complex between 2001 and 2006, including a half-dozen with the president.

He's just going to suspend the Constitution and declare himself king.
