Bush: Nobody Can Stop Me

Don't you mean ignoring the people? It was they who voted for the Democratic control of the Congress. You even have Republicans (i.e., Senator Hagel) opposing the Bush Iraq policy:

Digging in for confrontation, President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney said they will not budge from sending thousands more U.S. troops to Iraq no matter how much Congress opposes it.

"I fully understand they could try to stop me," Bush said of new Democratic-run Congress. "But I've made my decision. And we're going forward."

The people be damned:

Most Americans oppose sending more troops to Iraq. The war was the dominant issue in the November election, in which Republicans lost control of the House and Senate.

Let them eat cake:

When asked if the White House was ignoring the will of the American people, Cheney said no president worth his salt would make big decisions based on polls. "You cannot simply stick your finger up in the wind and say, 'Gee, public opinion's against; we'd better quit."

Is listening to the generals sticking a finger in the wind? The ones that you promised to listen to. The ones you purged because they disagreed with your madness.
