They want MONEY from the red cross, not any kind of moral bullshit about trademarks and so on, they want CASH. The amount is undisclosed, but the fact they want punitive damages in itself makes them fucking shitheads, nevermind the rest of it.

Oh...I must've missed that. Yeah, no 'vibe' present here, just pure dickery. Especially since the Red Cross has an enormous amount of respect worldwide and is pretty much the charity, while J&J is just another corporation. Somehow, people respect charities more than companies...fancy that.

Question: What-if here.

Lets say Bush via act of the voices in his head, picks up on this story and see's it as a good way to get a temporary point boost, so he steps in as the Red-Crosses defender. What could a president in theory do? With the power purely of the Presidence, IE using only executive orders and any part of the government he controls(IE the IRS, The Supreme Court ect)
