I don't think it will work. There is no so capable of cruelty as someone convinced of his or her utter righteousness, and the libs in Congress have self-righteousness the way others have BO and halitosis.
I associate myself with Jim Robinson's earlier post.
As to those who are worried that Bush is afraid of impeachment and investigations in the House, I say: let them bring it on. Throw them all the rope they want to hang themselves. I hope they overreach in every committee, in every public forum, every television show. If they do, they will sink their own freshmen "conservatives" and elect a GOP House in 2008.
Bush's conciliatory tone toward the Dem's may be a desperate attempt to keep that from happening.

Much depends on how "conservative" or "moderate" these newly elected Dem's really are. Anyway, I don't see what else Bush can do now. He has taken the high ground, and his speech is very statesmanlike.
