You think the only reason a president does anything is for reelection?
Why do you think anyone would want to be reelected in the first place?
Because being in that office gives them the power to control things,
however there are checks and balances so if the president goes against
the grain completely, he will fail. Bush has the ability, working with
congress, which also depends on the people, to pass and veto different
laws where he sees fit. This ability is one of the things that defines a
president. Someone who is said to have gotten many things done is
someone who has followed through with his ideas in the form of laws and
reform.
