Is Bush turning...?

[BrewAz]

First words of conciliation on Wednesday...then lunch with "soon to be" Speaker Pelosi...then inviting Reid for a talk.

Is Bush starting to listen to the people? Is he serious about being a "uniter" for the next 2 years? Is he stopping his "dividing"
ways? Will he really seek bi-partisan solutions for Iraq and the ills at home? Has he turned the corner?

or...is he still just playing politics? Is it a political hoax to tie up congress for 2 years and set up 2008 for the Repubs?

WE need to be VERY cautious here....

1. He's scared

he knows he's in deep shit and that we will investigate every illegal things he has done since he took office 6 years ago.

2. I think at the moment.....

.....the boy King is so confused and lost he doesn't know which end is up......but that could be just wishful thinking on my part....but Bushie Boy sure looks the part.....

3. See he's a simople man

and daddy took him to the woodshed... and had a major spanking after he was reminded who has the power now

he is not turning, he is running scared

[Lone_Star_Dem]

4. He's worried and trying to give good face

It's politics. He can't be an ass like he wants because it would prove that we were right about him and he'll be held accountable by the party in 2008. They plan on trying to make it appear that he's reaching out to the Democrats, and when the time is right they want it to look as if we are the ones who weren't willing to extend the olive branch.

5. Anyone who honestly thinks that the man has a decent bone in his body...

...is deluded beyond redemption.

6. cheney free bush

it might just be that he and cheney are in a snit - and his (far too the) right-hand man isn't talking to him. no cheney == a very lost bush.

8. don't trust him

[Christa]

9. No

He is playing the game of politics.

[KansDem]

10. Don't forget, he sat frozen, emotionless when told we were under attack on 9/11

Any sane president would have jumped up and started acting like the Commander in Chief. Not Bush, so I suspect his "touchy-feely" conversion is more an act.

[janx]

11. What choice does he have?

?

[lapfog_1]

12. Ignore what he says... watch what he does

at the same day that he was meeting with Pelosi, he also met with the lame ducks to figure out how much of his radical agenda they could shove through in the remaining few weeks. Asshole.

[NYCGirl]

13. It's called protocol. NT

[smirkymonkey]

14. Wait until he sobers up....

then we'll see.

[wake.up.america]

15. Don't trust the clown!!!!!! He is out for himself.

[BrewAz]

16. My fear is the Repugs will be obstructionists...

...for the next 2 years. They may not have a majority...but while Bush is in office they can make it very difficult for the Dems to get anything done.

I would like to see more Dems talking about hoping that the Repubs don't obstruct progress.

18. Post election funk

He'll nuke the rest of the middle east soon to show he's still the anti christ

[Zynx]

19. Bush believes in very little.

He wants to be conciliatory so he's not investigated.
