Probably not. Ever since the beginning of his presidency, he's suffered from the delusion that the way to get along with Democrats is to be nice to them, that you can convince them, that you can appeal to their "better nature". We know better that leftists are not interested in the welfare of their nation, they are interested in the acquisition and retention of power. Sadly, Bush has not yet figured out that this ain't the Texas legislature.
I know. Texas democrats can be reasonable. Washington democrats are insane. Bush has been there 6 years, why hasn’t he learned this?
