Mr. Crawford, The President will probably continue to follow his own thoughts and principles. Thank GOD
"The 10 members of the group — five from each political party — checked their partisanship at the door."
Along with their brains and courage. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Craig Crawford and his unnamed sources:
"Bush insiders say that, in private, the president first rejected the Baker-Hamilton findings with some coarse and unprintable language. But partly at the urging of Bush’s father, whom Baker served as secretary of State, the president gradually adopted a more receptive attitude."
(this was so juicy, Crawford wrote it twice???)
"Many GOP lawmakers hoping to see the White House get on a better footing with the voters are quietly cheering Bush’s apparent moves toward Baker. But as one said, they do not want to make too much of it or the president will “get stubborn” again and back off."
After not naming sources, Crawford gets back to what he does best, bitchy buzz word Bush insults, like:
"presidential pride",
acting like a petulant "child",
" behind-the-scenes intervention to pry the president away from an addiction'',
"the president will “get stubborn” again".
