Bush did everything a reasonable man could do to work with the democrats. He even let Ted Kennedy write the damn education bill (which the dems don't like because it was signed by Bush and not a democrat president). The democrats have done EVERYTHING in their power to screw with Bush, from holding up homeland security to appease a union, to not allowing almost any Judges to be put on the bench.
About the only thing the democrats would accept is for Bush to give them everything while getting nothing in return. At this point working with the democrats is pointless. Laura Bush in an interview said that this was the most disapointing thing about Washington. In Texas Bush and the Dems there had a good working relationship, Bush tried to bring that to Washington, he was warned that it wouldn't work but he tried anyways, and he failed not through lack of effort, but due to the 'win at all costs even if it screws the country' mentality the DNC has had.
THIS is why they lost the Senate in 2002, and will most likely lose this election in November.
WHAT could the man have done?
