No. What Bush tried was to tell everyone how much of a uniter he was going to be, push his conservative agenda, and let his worshippers claim the Democrats were stubborn and backstabbers because they didn't just go along with whatever the man said.
And he was able to do this because his party controls the Senate and the House - i.e. He doesn't have to compromise on anything or offer anything, but he can still pretend to claim the high ground.
