Same Story, New Chapter

At a House Republican dinner party event last night, President Bush committed to a Republican resurgence in 2008, to take back both houses of Congress and insure recovery of the White House. Although a typical Republican fundraiser, where many things are said to energize the party, one thing really stood out. What was clear was the President's commitment to Iraq, adding that the Democrats in congress are trying to "micromanage" the war, and speaking about the importance of privatizing social security.

The President has shown not commitment, but stubbornness to any issues he disagrees with. Mr. Bush refuses time and again to acknowledge opposition or work with the Democrats in Congress. Bush ignores popular demand about the war and has not even "gotten over" his social security failure, which wasn't even backed by his own party. President Bush needs to understand that even if the Republicans take back all three branches and return to the totalitarianism associated with one party rule, the President has no option but to work with the Democrats in congress, or risk not accomplishing anything positive for our country.
