Unjustly subpoena the Presidents private E-mails in the faint hope of finding dirt undermines a persons ability to have candid conversations and explore options with his advisers. Public ally declaring defeat in earshot of your countries enemies undermines the war. Publicly asking the Pentagon for there plans to with drawl from Iraq undermines the President. The list is endless.
Um I am not sure if you are aware how the American political system works. Let me inform you. The American people gave the congress to the Democrats with a specific task... To Undermine the President... The President is not more important than Congress. If they had not done everything within their power to undermine the President than they would have done a terrible disservice to the MAJORITY of Americans who gave them that mandate, if anything that would have been the most undemocratic path they could have taken. Unbelievable that Bush still has such ardent backers. I don't hate the guy like most on here but it takes pretty irrational logic to conclude anything but a terrible presidency has occurred in the last 8 yrs. By the way I also believe that Congress has done a terrible job since elected.
