"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!"

The Raw Story | Cheney ordered Secret Service logs destroyed, paper reports

The Raw Story | Cheney ordered Secret Service logs destroyed, paper reports: "A massive piece in Sunday's Washington Post reveals the true extent of secrecy Vice President Dick Cheney requires.

So clandestine is the Vice President's work that he has created a new secret document designation: 'Treated As: Top Secret/SCI.'

That's not all: the piece also reveals that Cheney keeps 'man-size' Mosler safes on hand for 'workaday business' and has destroyed all Secret Service visitor logs, in addition to already refusing to comply with a national security directive issued by President Bush, which RAW STORY first reported earlier this week.

Not only does he refuse to give the names of his staff, Cheney won't even disclose how many people he employs."

Wow, can you say "shadow government?" Cheney is the man behind the curtain, a figure who's influence and power cannot be measured due to his obsessive drive towards secrecy. He is the most powerful Vice President that the United States has ever had, and we don't even know what he is really doing in the shadows.
