Bush is going to do what he thinks is best. He'll play the political charade for the hell of it, and then he'll do what he wanted to do all along.

His whole political career, he's played the "inclusive card" and then done what he intended all along. When it's not to the liking of the far right wing, they scream sell-out. And the left-wing screams that it was a charade. The moderates and most conservatives think it's great.
