From what I read on the other threads, the President can call them back, but it has to be for an agenda set by the Senate -controlled by democrats- for extraordinary circumstances.
Democrats don’t see $4.00 gallon gas as much of an issue. I know his hands are tied on this, But President Bush could at least address it a bit more than he has been. Prehaps he’s waiting for more momentum to build. Strategery, ya know.
If the Republicans in Congress work this issue, they should get the benefit. If the President leaps up to help them (and you know that he would in a heartbeat if it were of value), then they are undercut because the President solves the problem.
Whereas if they keep this up and get national attention, more than the conservative Dems in Congress could be at risk.
That’s what I think.
I also think that the leadership is watching how events are viewed to make decisions about what to do next.
If they really want the President to make them all sit there, while Nancy decides not to call them to order, they will let the President know. Offline.
“...Prehaps he’s waiting for more momentum to build.”
I am fairly certain that he is allowing the grassroots to highlight the foolishness of Ms. Pelosi. Ultimately, it will be FAR more effective...coming directly from the people!
