In this light the following quote from Bush, in response to Bob Woodward asking if the president explained his positions, is not surprising at all:

Of course not. I'm the commander. See, I don't have to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation.
