I had no idea that Bush had successes the last 4 months!

This smells like cover for the rest of the DC press corps who are desperate to find an excuse to continue NOT reporting on Bush's disasterous imcompetence.

President Bush is benefiting from a Karl Rove-free White House and the lower-profile approach of his successor, who high-ranking Republican Party activists and operatives say helped the administration to key victories at the end of last year.



While friends and colleagues of Mr. Rove use words like "flamboyant," "gregarious" and "flashy" to describe him, they portray his former deputy, Mr. Jackson, as "a man of few words" who is the right fit for a president now reliant on Republican legislators sticking with him.


"It's no accident that the president has had the four best months of his presidency ever in dealing with the Congress," said Terry Holt, a Republican consultant who worked with Mr. Jackson in Congress.


While Mr. Jackson's behind-the-scenes sway has been right on time for the president, Mr. Rove's in-your-face style and larger-than-life reputation often fit with Mr. Bush's approach to governing in his first term and early in his second term.



The president's scorn for "small ball" governing is well-known, as is his penchant for pursuing big ideas and big reforms.

1. Sure looks like the new Rove is

as self-promoting as the old Rove.
These food-for-flaks pieces just don't write themselves.

2. Best four months of his presidency with Congress?

Huh? Is he in an alternate reality?

3. Success means vetoing, threatening vetoes, and flat out obstructionism

:eyes:


as opposed to the old days when it was all rubber stamped I guess.
