William F. Buckley Jr., idol of the American conservative movement, recently strongly criticized President Bush on both domestic and foreign policy during a CBS News interview. He also noted that President Bush would have no legacy that future Presidents would acknowledge.

A bipartisan panel of the American Bar Association has expressed concerns over President Bush's use of signing statements and the precedent set for future Presidents. They recommend judicial review of signing statements and a report sent to Congress when a President refuses to execute the law.

Cracks in the facade sometimes show rotting timber in the frame.
