A statement like the one above makes me think that that you don't think there were any Constitutional issues concerning the separation of power prior to Bush. In my view there have been on-going power struggles and shifts in power between the executive and legislative branches of government. Many Presidents have tested the limits of executive power and some have crossed the line. History has given some of these Presidents a pass on their "transgressions' with executive power, i.e. FDR.

I did not write what you suggest here. The context of the OP is Congressional leadership, Democrats currently control Congress, are most vocal against Bush - yet give him what he wants. In addition Host specifically mentions Clinton and Obama.
Thanks for reminding me about how easy it is for some to take points out of context to create a straw man argument.
