This whole story if foul indeed. And I'm not talking about Bird Flu either. The word 'Impeachment' really needs to be brought forward against this President and this is just one more example of a leader who is out of touch and whose actions are autocratic and extra legal. From the illegal wiretaps and the excesses allowed under the Patriot Act this President does not believe he needs to follow the Constitution, consult Congress or even make an effort to pretend to follow the Constitution. The Senate even tried to help the President out by suggesting that they would be more than happy to change the FISA Court law to overcome whatever objections the President had to actually following the law. No dice, the illegal unconstitutional actions continue and there is oversight, no idea of how extensive the wiretaps against american citizens actually is.
In this case, the selling of ownership of the major US ports to a middle eastern country is more than foul. It's the direct result of letting the President run roughshod over the Constitution. He doesn't think in any way that the Congress has any right to have a say in anything he does. He just doesn't care, he believes he is the dictator of the United States and not the President. It's amazing, it's the answer to the frequent question about how on earth the Germans allowed Hitler to take over the country. The answer is of course, one day at a time and with each day the rights and laws are further diminished until someday nothing of them will remain. This is another example.
