		<description>&lt;p&gt;He cannot go around repealing drugs. But he does have the &lt;em&gt;next-to-final&lt;/em&gt; say on everything related to woman's health drugs, basically. So do you really think Bush is gonna take this guy's top recommendation and say, "Well, I appointed you, but I have given this a lot of thought and will do the opposite of what you recommend." No, he's not going to give it any thought because he's busy doing a million other things, he's going to say okay, and some really bad thing is gonna happen. I mean, if these idiot's had their way, we'd go back to the good ol' coathanger days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My problem is how every administration thinks that their election in and of itself is a mandate to reshape the nation to fit their personal views. The point of America is that you don't do crap based on personal views, because their unreliable. You express your views, and others express their views, and eventually, a consensus is reached that ideally is good for everyone. The average citizen does this by voting, and politicians do this during legislative sessions. Problem is, the Executive, not being the Legislative, doesn't compare it's views. It just does whatever the hell it wants. When Clinton came to power, he and Hillary came pretty damn close to socializing healthcare (and you can ask Canada on how succesful that program has been). He also sent Jessie Jackson to Bosnia, and that was such a great idea(anyone wanna tell me Jessie Jackson's credentials? What is his job title, anyway? National bumbling idiot?). When Bush came to power, he wanted to open up the Alaskan wildlife preserve for oil companies (which he used to own), and then he wanted to go after Iraq (to finish the job his dad started). There are many more examples of this in presidencies, I'm just naming the most well-known. The Executive needs to stop doing whatever it wants without thinking, and it needs to not appoint this man to chair this FDA committee. This man's credentials involve writing a book, holding a non-professorship at the University of Kansas(or Kentucky, I forget), and being an OB/GYN who won't prescribe birth control (yeah, like we need more hungry mouths in the world). You know, I think God can take care of anything. But telling women God can cure their PMS sounds very, very fishy, and it's quite possibly this man has very backward views.&lt;/p&gt;
