I have also been thinking along these lines.

Doesn't George W. Bush have this flaw too?

Why did he make so many overtures to Congressional Democrats?

If he didn't think FISA was strong enough, why didn't tell Congress to change it? What was he afraid of? If he had forced them on the issue, wouldn't they have had to deal with either looking soft on the War on Terror or giving the President more authority? (I am assuming that Bush is bound by FISA for the sake of the argument. I have to conclude the issue is debatable since Gonzales makes such a poor argument otherwise).

It is my theory that we have a war on two fronts, al Qaeda on one, self-interested Democrat policos on the other. How can Bush deal effectively with al Qaeda when he is letting the Democrats stab him in the back? When is he going to put some discipline into the Congressional Republicans and tell them to either get behind him or pay a political price for it?

The only thing I know for sure is that George W. Bush is not the son of Ronald Regan.

And the only thing I know is that Bush is the red-headed stepchild of the clintons.
