(BTW, his "running off to China" was a master stroke.

A master stroke would have been staying home and helping House Republicans to hand Pelosi and the Rats their asses.

Five weeks is long from over - he yet may move on them...just when they least expect.

If history teaches me anything, I say dream on.

Drill here, Drill now is resonating with voters. If the Republicans, who have been trying to pass an ANWR drilling bill since 95 (Clinton vetoed it), can get traction on this, we can not only get drilling legislation through but gain seats in November. The blame for this mess needs to be tacked on to Dems, where it belongs, and driven home by the House and everyday people.

I know this is going to come as a huge surprise to you but the world does not revolve around the President. Having the President interject himself into this would be politically stupid. It would turn the issue from a populist one into a Bush vrs the Democrats. Considering Bush's approval rating that would be stupid.

The Establishment media is not the center of the universe either. Talk Radio reaches far more people then the nightly news does each and every week. Having them cover it, as they are, is every bit as effective.

You obviously suffer from batter Conservative syndrome. You are still desperately looking to the Establishment media for political validation. Desperately hoping that one day they will finally be forced to acknowledge they are wrong.That is stupid. Turn the Establishment Media off. It is a fully manufactured product. Looking for it to magically start covering they way we want is a sure receipt for depression. It is never going to happen.

The Establishment Media was 100% opposed to the Right on Immigration. Who won that fight? Crying for them to ride in and rescue us in this fight is stupid.

The solution is to replace the Establishment Media with our own media, not try to coopt it with futile grandiose stunts like "calling a special session".
