Well, I hope more republicans start to abandon him (like Warner and Lugar) and help the Dems put an end to the Iraq war.
I'm sure he won't get much legislation through. He just doesn't have that "political capital" he once bleated about.
Ya know, the funny thing is that when all the dust had settled after the 2000 election I really tried to make a pledge to myself NOT to be like all the Clinton-bashers I had endured for 8 years. I hoped he would surprise me and impress me with his intellectual prowess and ability to "unite not divide", but I have never been SO sorry to be wrong. I wish he had done a better job. I can take a President that doesn't agree with me as long as I can have faith that he is doing what is best for the country and not corporations. I often think about that time period and how optimistic I was and I really feel terrible that I can't come up with 5 things he has done that have been positive for the majority of Americans. I'm sure sme of you conservatives will cite tax cuts, but that just doesn't do it for me.
What will happen in the next year? Nothing. Bush will veto anything Congress tries to do and blame inertia on them. He can't pull out of Iraq because he has nothing else to show for his Presidency. If he admits Iraq was a disaster, then he is admitting he is a total failure for 8 years. So he will just stall and tell us to wait until the next report from his generals next February and stall and try to protect his perjurer Gonzalez and stall.
Bush may in fact be a lame duck president now, but it really doesn't matter because neither party has a real working majority in congress so congress is really a lame duck congress as well.
It's probably for the best. Lately they seem to screw things up more than not.
I was puzzled at the "now" ? Wasn't he always a lame duck ? He was hardly the sharpest tool in the box even at the beginning of his presidency, or even one suspect at any period in his life...
