Bush Calls on Democrats to Work With Him

President Bush, facing a Democratic-controlled Congress for the first time, is urging lawmakers to work with his administration and warning that "political statements" in the form of legislation would result in a stalemate.

"Together, we have a chance to serve the American people by solving the complex problems that many don't expect us to tackle, let alone solve, in the partisan environment of today's Washington," Bush wrote in a guest column for The Wall Street Journal posted on the newspaper's Web site Tuesday night.

"To do that, however, we can't play politics as usual," he said. "Democrats will control the House and Senate, and therefore we share the responsibility for what we achieve."

Bush, while sounding a tone of bipartisanship on the eve of the new session of Congress that begins Thursday, repeated long-held positions on the war in Iraq, tax cuts and other issues often criticized by Democrats. He has vetoed only one bill, but he reminded readers that the Constitution calls on the president to use his judgment in deciding which bills to sign into law.

1. I'm sure they'll show him every respect he's shown them

Just like he's earned.

[truthisfreedom]

2. While he's reading that Constitution thingie he might consider taking in some of the finer details.

I mean as long as he's got it out.

The only reason he's writing this crap is to prepare the public for a long string of vetoes he has planned.

[VegasWolf]

5. We will Bush, we'll be standing over your fucking shoulder so close that you

will hear every breath we take. Better keep your Depends handy, you'll need them. Your worst nightmare is here.

[grytpype]

6. It is going to be so sweet when the Dems crush him.

The Dems are going to wipe the smirk off his chimp face.

[Nite Owl]

7. "To do that, however, we can't play politics as usual,"

Umm, that's the problem it isn't all about politics it's about the law and he wants to avoid that truth. One would think Mr. * was more than a little scared these days, he's about to have some things really challenged and he's about to stomp his feet and hold his breath until his face turns red. This could be fun!

[w13rd0]

9. Politics as usual...

...read: the way myself and my party and our paymasters have run things the last six years. Because as we've seen, that doesn't get SHIT down except enrich the friends and family of Bush.

[liberal N proud]

8. The tables have turning and he is in deep shit

I hope they show him the same response he granted them for the last 6 years.

NONE!

[neuvocat]

14. Seves him right.

He shouldn't have spent 20+ billion to campaign against them.

He'll probably end up in jail.

[Bitwit1234]

10. So in other words

ush and the republicans rammed everything down the throats of the democrats. They passed laws THEY WANTED. They gave contracts to who they wanted. They brought up bills pertaining to amendments for same sex marriage. Gays, Terri Schavio while ignoring the economy, health insurance, food for the needy, Katrina, gas prices, presctiptions and now bush wants the dems to cave and give him WHAT HE WANTS. BULL..ABSOLUTE BULL. If the dems cave to him I will stay away from the polls in 2008.

[mcscajun]

11. Translation: he's finally going to pull out his Veto Pen

at anything he doesn't like.

[tanyev]

12. Uh, Mr. President. The results of the election would show that

the people of this country want YOU to work with the Democrats.

[LynnTheDem]

22. That would be a

NO, MFer.

[Rob H.]

24. So now he's talking bipartisanship again?

Like the bipartisanship he showed right after the election when he talked about how he wanted to move past partisan rancor and then less than two weeks later appointed Dr. Eric Keroack, an anti-choice, anti-contraception, anti-sexuality wingnut to a top post in the Department of Health and Human Services? That kind of "bipartisanship"?

Yeah. Good luck with that, monkeyboy. :sarcasm:

[flyarm]

31. hey little lord pissy pants seems you spent all your capital!!...and mandate!! ....

fly

[onehandle]

25. No problem. We'll be working with you when you're called to testify under oath.

Try not to lie about a blowjob, or who knows what may happen.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

26. To quote Doctor Phool:

How's that bipartisanship been workin' for ya???

:evilgrin:

[w4rma]

27. We've all heard this act before, and before, and before, and before ... (nt)

[Auntie Bush]

28. Is that a threat Heir bush*?

"he reminded readers that the Constitution calls on the president to use his judgment in deciding which bills to sign into law."

What judgment?

Oh, now Republicans are all crying, screaming and promoting bipartisanship. If they think it's such a good idea and was so important...why the hell didn't they practice it for the past 6 years?

They actually changed the house rules to eliminate Democratic input!

NOW they say it's unfair to them when Nancy follows their rules. Horse**it! Those rules were fine when they thought they were going to be in power for the next 50 years.

But I must say...I do hope the rules will be turned back later in the year after all the 100 day goals are accomplished. But that opinion is subject to change...we'll see.

[NastyRiffraff]

29. NOW he wants bipartisanship?

Here's what he really thinks about working with Democrats, or anyone, for that matter:

"I'm the commander — see, I don't need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."
—as quoted in Bob Woodward's Bush at War

That's what the Democrats can expect from him. Doesn't matter if they try to be accommodating; The Decider will decide. Bipartisanship be damned..let's go for the throat.

[burrowowl]

30. How about Bu$h working with the Dems!?!? eom

[Trajan]

32. Trajan calls on Bush to Suck Ass .....

FUCK YOU .... Your destructive behaviour is the PROBLEM .... DENYING you is the solution ...

Denying George W. Bush and the GOP the ability to establish policy is the will of the majority of americans as expressed in the november elections. To deny the american people wouold be a travesty of Democracy ....

[lpbk2713]

33. The asshole is just looking for scapegoats to share the blame.

He knows he is in way over his head by now and there is no way out.

I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

[Higans]

34. I would Piss on his grave.

[Pastiche423]

35. Is that photo from Hospital Curve?

(Heading north on 101 to SF.)

[ixion]

36. uh, huh... just like how the GOP has worked with the dems in the past

this is so freakin' bogusly transparent (if you've been paying attention) that I really can't believe anyone couldn't see through this.

[flordehinojos]

37. i hope there is not one single democrat excluding lieberman who is so gullible as to believe that

bush means one iota about his garbage about bipartisanship.

he doesn't mean it!

[jamesinca]

38. Media checks Bush prostate with tongue, AGAIN!!!

"President Bush,...warning that "political statements" in the form of legislation would result in a stalemate." A threat to the incoming congress

"...in the partisan environment of today's Washington," Bush wrote in a guest column for The Wall Street Journal posted on the newspaper's Web site Tuesday night." don't you dare act like the rat bastards that just got kicked out of office and power

"To do that, however, we can't play politics as usual," he said. don't you dare act like the rat bastards that just got kicked out of office and power


"Bush, while sounding a tone of bipartisanship" threats and hypocrisy are called bipartisanship these days by the prostate checkers

39. Quis costodiet ipsos custodies?

The Dem's do Bushy boy!
