Default Report: Bush says he will not relinquish power
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/200...uip-might.html

Quote:

Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said recently that next year, when he has to step down according to the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there ...

Bush: I've been planning that myself.

Bush made a funny.

For him to relinquish power, wouldn't Cheney have to let him have some in the first place?
