Instead of "reaching across the aisle", Bush needs to attend to his own side of the aisle!
Senator Tom Coburn PING.

On all sides, conservative Republicans are working against him.
Little children throwing sand in the sandbox.

And he needs to pay attention to the mandate that the people who put him into office, game him. But I think it is a bit late for him now. He made alot of mistakes, and p@ssed-off alot of the wrong people -- people who were there to work FOR America.
Not a pretty site.
Just wait until that new immigration bill hits his desk. If he vetoes it, expect all out war.
This article forgot to mention illegal immigration. There is a huge difference between the bill the House passed and Bush's 'guestworker' (a disguised amnesty) plan. This will be the undoing of the Republicans in 2008 if things don't change.
Can you say President McCain? I can't. LOL
I would think that there might be a big difference between this lame duck and his relation with the GOP Congress - and a conservative lame duck and his relation with the GOP Congress.
Many here at FR will just say that we have to let the geniuses at the WH do what they need to do -- because they are the masterminds, they know best.
But I am inclined to think that had GWB never pressured Congress on prescription drugs entitlement, never signed McCain Feingold, never cozied up with the assault weapons ban, never countenanced the Dubai port debacle, never nominated Harriett Miers...and generally never been a big spender, then, things wouldn't be this sour. Reagan, after all, didn't go out like this with his own party, though the media couldn't wait to get rid of him.
I think when Republicans in power govern like conservatives, their popularity will increase and they will gain strength. But to do that, they have to truly understand that the MSM is always against us, and the Dems are not worth talking to as they are beyond redemption.
I can't decide if this Administration's "inert posture and opacity" stems from arrogance, stupidity, or both.
In another time in another country, a certain party whipped up a frenzy among the population against an entire class of people as being the cause of all their problems.
Labeling every single arab as an "Islamofacist" is a very dangerous road to go down. Take out the fanatics, take out the terrorists, but don't paint an entire race or religion with the same broad brush.
I fear we may be heading for another Kristallnacht here in the United States.
C'mon George, get some balls and veto the whole bill! It's time there was a "line item veto"
If our cowardly "amendment crazy" congress can't step up and send up a clean bill and a separate one for what they really want, George needs to send it back with a signature contingent on removing the offending amendments!
Who ever gave the congress the right to amend bills with crap that doesn't pertain anyway?
(I'm sure some studious soul will enlighten me.);^)

I think you are way off. The substantive differnces between the situation here, and in Europe are endless. Any suggestion to the contrary is needless alarmism.
Humbly apologize for th dubble post!
President Bush did OK on Iraq. He did OK on the tax cut thing. Other than that, though, he hasn't done so well, overall.
Immigration and this Dubai business are going to be the end of his power as a leader. The explosion of opposition to the Dubai ports deal, misunderstood or not, is the final nail. When Bush announced that he'd veto any bill against the deal, and did that before he really even knew much about the deal, he made a huge mistake.
The people...the voters...made their feelings known loud and clear to their legislators. Bush isn't listening to those people because he isn't running for anything. Congress is always listening.
Congress is now in control of the country. President Bush is finished as far as power and influence go.
Re-read some of the posts in this thread and others, and tell me you have no concerns whatsoever.
