This essay called my attention to this remarkable bit from Bob Woodward’s hagiography of Bush:
“I’m the commander,” [Bush] told journalist Bob Woodward for the book, Bush at War. “See, I don’t need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”
