Would I get a certain amount of satisfaction if the President would "beat up on" the Democrats, yes. Would it be helpful, no.
If the President had a veto proof majority in congress, then he could act differently, but he doesn't.
Part of what the President does is pure PR. The media would love to stir up a dog fight between the President and the Democrats (and we know whos side they would be on.)
I took my blinders off years ago. A person needs to pick their fights. This is only year one of at minimum a four year term, I will allow President Bush time to play the hand he was dealt the way he sees best.
Your right and I think that has been my problem, a wish that I would love to see, but helpful ? No, that is why I thank God the adults are in charge. Hey, Bush is getting his bills passed and that is the main thing that is of importance.
BIG BUMP to that! You nailed it, IMHO. . .
