In six of the 8 years that Bill Clinton was President, the Republicans were in control of both houses of Congress - and they are the ones who approved the budget that included the defense cuts.
Remember the "peace dividend"?

I realize that, but I also realize that Clinton was a vetoing and executive ordering madman - so basically nothing got passed unless it fit *his* agenda and would have to get reworked and reworked until it did.
Bush is the other extreme - put it on his desk and he'll sign it. I think if a bill included the terms that his daughters would become Congressional whores to be passed around each week to a new Senator/Representative, he'd still sign it. We can't dare look like we're not working with both sides here.
Sigh. Where's the person in the middle? Someone who will work with both sides but won't run over Congress with his personal vision nor bend over and take it up the ass just to look conciliatory?
