Bush Moves to Force Vote on Free Trade With Columbia

Now he's one who does not know to watch his speed when driving that train...

From CNN:

"...Bush said he signed a letter giving Congress 90 working days to vote on the agreement, which would allow goods to move between the United States and Colombia without being taxed.

"Bush said the agreement would "advance America's national security interests in a critical region" and "strengthen a courageous ally in our hemisphere," as well as help the U.S. economy...

"Bush said he decided to force Congress to take up the measure because "need for this agreement is too urgent; the stakes for our national security are too high to allow this year to end without a vote."

You know, this is just not cool. The President forcing Congress to bend to his will isn't my idea of a Democracy.
