Bush's problem is that he is too respectful of the Constitution.

His predecessors have used Executive Orders to really mess things up. Taking coal deposits out of development and production, for example.

Bush could have, on day two, ordered drilling for oil and gas.

And reveresed the previous executive orders banning coal.

And ordered surplus military bases used for refinery locations.

And issued additional operating licenses for new nuclear electric generating facilities.

AND mandated that all railroads switch to electric power instead of using diesel power.

He could have done those things.

Instead he allowed the Liberal Democrats and Liberal Republicans to tie up the economy in bureaucratic knots.

One of the Ten Commandments forbids stealing and another of the Ten Commandments forbids coveting (envy). Bush allowed the Liberals to use legal manipulations to steal from the people and to get away with envy of people who are productive and produce the things that we all need for our daily existence.
