Bush still (and never will) relaize that it is not "politics" in Washington, there is a war gong on. Unfortunately, the only side who engages the enemy are the RATs--the Republican'ts refuse to fight the war.
Bush will forever play Mr. Nice-Guy with the RATs, be "bi-partisan" and "reach across the aisle" and "extend an olive branch" and all that other phoney crap, but the RATs will just laugh at his weakness and continue to wage war against America and the Constitution.
The RATs' sole focus is to gain power and control at the next election. They will not work to solve the nation's needs. Bush's refusal to understand this is shocking.
Nice guy(s) always wind up having their asses served up on a democratic platter. NSNR
