Bush the President, that is, not Bush the band.... As I've mentioned in the past, although I agree for the most part with how he's handling the war against terror and other foreign policy issues, I'm rather disappointed in his extreme lack of conservatism when it comes to domestic issues. For example, he apparently signed the campaign finance reform law in the hope that it would be struck down as unconstitutional. That plan backfired spectacularly with the recent Supreme Court ruling. He also signed the Medicare drug benefit into law, thereby hugely increasing government spending and expanding the power of the federal government. The most recent example is his proposed immigration reform. Since others have already detailed what is wrong with it, I'll save time and link to them.

Emperor Misha I, as usual, makes his point very well if very bluntly.

This is a tough one, I admit. I'm not unsympathetic to those coming to this country trying to find a better life for themselves and their families. However, we have a process in place and those that bypass it and are subsequently rewarded for it rather than punished are metaphorically spitting in the eyes of those who take the time and effort to enter this country and achieve citizenship legally.
