Obama admininstration's bark is worse than its bite.

According the Associated Press, "On Sunday, Obama told CBS's 60 Minutes the House's plan to slap a special tax on the AIG executives would be unconstitutional. Borrowing a line from his Feb. 24 speech to Congress, he said he would not "govern out of anger."

You can't use the Constitution as a safety net for all your screw-ups, President. First, the government OK's a bailout of AIG without taking into consideration the fine print that allowed AIG to dole out $165 million in bonuses. The country goes into an uproar. The President goes into an uproar. The House goes into an uproar and passes legislation to tax that bonus money in order to get some of it back. Then Obama says wait a second - we can't do that.

Seems like a lot of people are doing things they're not supposed to be doing and the American people are paying for it. Seems this administration's "roar" is nothing more than a "meow".
