“according to NRO, four recess appointments were made today. Very good start.”
That’s GREAT news! I’d love to see more. This could get really fun!
I’ll offer an opinion as to what is going on. I think Bush really wanted to give Pelosi and Reid a chance to demonstrate some good faith, particularly regarding foreign policy and so, accordingly, he extended his hand first.
Last week he got his answer in both chambers and, say what you want about this President’s domestic agenda, he has been steadfast in the war on terror. He has used every ounce of political capital with regard to Iraq. Pelosi and Reid were determined to politicize the war and he is furious.
The President doesn’t give a damn if they call him names or whatever, but now they are using the troops to score cheap political points, and he is livid.
That’s my theory.
