From a WSJ editorial today:

As for Mr. Bush, one lesson is that his veto strategy has been a political and policy success. Though widely called a lame duck, he continues to dominate the debate on security and defense. He is also on the cusp of controlling spending growth far better than he ever did when Republicans controlled Congress.

Yay for divided government! Now, if I could only think of some way to continue the division after 2008. Alas.

America needs a parliament. When the president's only function was to make defense decisions, it was all well and good, but power has become too centralized over time to give that kind of authority to a single asshole.

In what sense, numerically, is this the case? Wiki doesn't seem to agree.
