Sorry to disappoint you, but it's mostly political reality that keeps anyone from doing completely what they want to do. Do you doubt that? Do you think the Dems, when they were in power, left you ANY take home pay because they were concerned about you? Nope - because they had to compromise.
Most of Bush's actions have involved that political compromise. We're not in Syria right now, mostly because of political compromise. For you to imply that that's not a factor in everything a pres does is either naive or wilfully obtuse.
