“I’m a Commander Guy” Yes, He Did!!
I’ve long advocated keeping impeachment off the table, but can we continue to tolerate a “leader” in a democracy who thinks he’s king and do any damn thing he wants? After all he’s the “commander guy” and no one, not even the people of this country or the other two equal branches of government is gonna tell him how to lead. Impeachment may be our only hope, and Lord do I hate think or say that.
WASHINGTON, May 2–And you thought he was still “the decider.†President Bush coined a new nickname.
President Bush coined a new nickname for himself — ‘’the commander guy†— on Wednesday, as he criticized Congressional Democrats in a speech to the annual gathering of the Associated General Contractors of America, a construction industry trade group.
The man who last year proclaimed “I’m the decider,’’ in response to a question about whether he would fire Donald Rumsfeld as defense secretary, came up with this latest moniker in explaining why he vetoed an Iraq war spending bill that dictated a timeline for troops to withdraw from Iraq.
“The question is, ‘Who ought to make that decision, the Congress or the commanders?,’’ Mr. Bush said. “As you know, my position is clear – I’m the commander guy.â€
UPDATE - Bush actually said ”I’m a Commander guy” - see it here on youtube

The quote in the report is inaccurate. He said “a commander guy” - not “the commander guy”.
