Part of the reason he has the leverage to get what he wants NOW, is because he compromised BEFORE.

Wait and see what happens with those things he gave up to get the BIG fish, now that he has a Congress that will support him.

I see the wisdom now in Bush agreeing to the gradual implementation of his tax cuts. Today he was able to say that if those cuts are good enough for Americans three years from now, those cuts are good enough for Americans right now! I saw immediately the incrementalism of his approach, which I did not trust when the tax cut plan was first passed. But back then we had no way of knowing how big President Bush's coattails would be, and how dramatic Republican wins would be on Nov. 5.

Geez, I hope that you're right on that!

I kept trying to cling to the hope that there was some grand scheme behind all of that capitulation, but the grip was getting increasingly tenuous with each whimp-out.

A good indicator would be to get rid of those complete waste of space hot air bag buffoons Norm Minetta of Transportation
and Old what's-his-name running around with the "Homeland Defence" fiasco as if he had a clue, and appoint someone who really does.
