"No President wants War."
'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as commander in chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.' GW Bush

3. No one has told the twerp that he is NOT commander in chief of the Nation
he is only commander in chief of the military.

I've read his convoluted "logic" before -- but now looking back on his behavior, this statement makes more sense.

He believes that if he is the mythological "commander-in-chief" everyone has to obey his commands/orders. Perhaps he never heard of the mutiny on the Bounty -- that captain of the ship got put overboard (he survived, by the way).

That guy in the white house is one sick fella -- big time sick in da head.

4. well, IMHO
once he stole the election, his presidency was doomed.

he went into office in disgrace; nothing, NOTHING, good could have come of it.
