Darn. That's what I was afraid of.
Bush said himself yesterday, "Americans expect us to work together in a bi-partisan way."
That is not a tone of defiant checks and balances, friend.
They say making law and making sausage is similar. Well, what you are hearing is the new tone of capitulation to get lots and lots of nasty rotten legislation shoved through the machine! But I'm an optimist!
So much of life is timing. This is not the time to be partisan or spiteful. It is time for unifying the country. Bush has not abandoned his principles and he is giving the RATS plenty of rope to hang themselves.
