If this is pandering, let the GOP make the most of it. It certainly can’t hurt. They are fighting for their lives and the country’s.

Did you hear him say that Obama got cheered by 200,000 Germans and “I’d rather be cheered by 50,000 bikers any day. Any day.”

Go John!!!!!!

And Cindy looking great beside him in blue denim!

Repubs on C-Span now. Don’t know if the cameras in the chambers are on. C-SPAN doesn’t control them.

“There are times I am not happy with GWB.
This is one of them.”

It seems to me that someone among the Dems (Clintons?) has the goods on GWB. He has not taken a stand on anything meaningful in some time, and will not even defend his record verbally, even when misrepresented in the most vile manner. He seems like a blackmail victim.

This oil issue is one where the Republicans could make real headway against the Dems, and calling Congress back into session would sure shine a spotlight on it.

I missed that (great line) but did hear him shouting about drilling now, drilling now! Of course, the Judge had to play it down and announce that for 25 years McCain was against drilling. Sometimes the “fair and balanced” act can make me scream.

Bush (43) like his father(Bush 41)before him is often times disengaged from events around him. Opportunities come his way and they're ignored ... this will be another lost opportunity.

I called Hensarling’s office on Friday and they implied he was on vacation with his family. He must have canceled it to be there. He always makes the right move for the people he represents.

It’d be interesting to see the Democrats’ counter message:

‘Keep Gas Above $4’

He [McCain] promised to return from the campaign trail to vote.

While the concept of him voting is certainly novel, if he has any saavy at all he'd re-route that campaign trail across the floor of Congress. He needs to show his face.

I want to see Congress in session, at least, 1900 hours a year.

Most people that work full time are at work, at least, that length of time every year.
Why should Congress critters be any different?

It’s not that I’m “misrepresenting”. That’s a word with intent. Rather, “misunderstanding” is where I am at.

What you say makes perfect sense! Kudos!

These Reps are giving up vacation, campaigning and family time for this. GWB sits on his hands saying, “It won’t do any good.”

I don't think that's it. I think GWB doesn't want to interfere with the legislative branch, and would rather let SanFranNan twist in the wind of public opinion.
