That's the problem, a president can only get what he wants against opposing members of congress if he caves in and gives them what they want, which is why we have a mandated ethanol percentage now. The democrats would not vote for Bush's energy bill unless he included the ethanol. The only republicans who pushed for it come from states like Iowa. Together they had enough votes to kill anything Bush wanted unless he caved and gave them the free ride on corn. I wonder why they wanted a federal subsidy to go along with the subsidies they already have?
I'm not making that up, it's a matter of public record.

Bush played hardball with Congress on everything else, why not this? Hmmmmm.
