This is the clearest sign possible that Bush is not going to try to find compromises with the Democratic-controlled Congress. And that means the Democratic Congress is not going to compromise with him.

And if you were hoping for a compromise that would allow the troops to stay in Iraq, sorry - the odds of a cut-off of funding for the war have just increased.

I'm not sure who Bush is listening to, but they're giving him bad advice.

You are right about one thing, that the Dems are not doing what they said that they would do before being elected last fall. No matter what they said that they would do, they are doing everything possible to obstruct ANYTHING that the administration does, whether its legal or not, right or wrong.

There is a legal way for the President to appoint an Ambassador without their approval, and he has used this to circumvent political roadblocks. You have a problem with that? Then change the laws.

Compromise? Ask the Dems that you guys elected and get them to tell you why they are doing what they insisted that they would not do before last November. Those of us who know and understand the Dems realized that they would be playing these games and its nothing new. They are in the process of stepping on their Johnson as we speak.

In your opinion the President is getting bad advice. Some of us feel otherwise.
