The phrase is generally used in a parlimentary system where the PM puts together a voting block to get his program through. In the States, the Pres gets to fill a bunch of seats in the executive branch but, rumor has it, does not control the legislative function. Either George feels he owns the whole government or he's been hanging with Blair too much.
