"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Think Progress » Sen. Reed: White House Blocking Petraeus From Pursuing ‘New Direction’ In Iraq

Think Progress » Sen. Reed: White House Blocking Petraeus From Pursuing ‘New Direction’ In Iraq: "...But yesterday on C-SPAN, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), who recently returned from a trip to Iraq, suggested that those comments aren’t Petraeus’s real views. Rather, he is shilling for the administration. 'I got the impression from Gen. Petraeus that he wasn’t waiting' until September to reassess the Iraq policy. 'Now he might be overruled by people in the White House and, you know, wait until September. But he seemed very eager to come forward as quickly as possible with a new direction and policy.'"

You mean he is just a puppet of the administration? No way!!! It is a shame that these guys cannot stand their ground.
