Congress coud have refused the change, leaving the admnistration to try again.

The Executive CANNOT force Congress to write legislation.

Sounds like some people on the hill need to grow a spine. If the really wanted o get something done with oversight they should have found a compromise, built a veto-proof majority, and rammed the bill down the President's throat.

Like that would ever be a possibility with a majority of Republicans in
the current Senate. The fact that this is happining right in the middle of
Holiday leave time for Congress is not lost on anybody.

If GWB were any kind of a real leader, he would have lead the way in
getting the economy back on track with sensible legislation instead of
sniping from the sidelines. Bush can't wait to kick this problem down the
road & let others clean things up.

Majority of republicans?

The dems have had the majority in the Senate since the last elections.

Maybe Im being a tad cynical but Im seeing the House and Senate setting the President up for failure and failing, and Im seeing the President manipulating the House and Senate into failing. Or is it the other way around?

Either way Shrub has gotten what he has wanted time after time even with a Dem majority in the Congresional branch.

My brother is a Cook County resident, and a democrat, I wouldnt be suprised if he threw some shoes at Blago.

Liz, Liz, Liz....NOTHING is GW's fault. It is always the fault of Congress for not making him do the right thing...(hmmmm like a nanny?)

So if Congress needs a spine, I guess Bush needs a brain...or at least a conscience!

Horse manure, ES.
