Boxer: Bush has "hatred" for Congress

President Bush may look into the souls of world leaders, but California Sen. Barbara Boxer prefers reading body language. And when she watches Bush, Boxer told reporters this morning, she sees "hatred" and "disdain" toward the legislative branch.

Lambasting Bush for having issued "signing statements" on more than 750 new laws, declaring that he has the power to set aside provisions in them, Boxer said the president's contempt for Congress is reaching "a crush point."

"I just hope he gets over his hatred of this Congress, because it's seething through him. I've watched him. I know body language," Boxer said. "I've never seen such a disdain for Congress."
