To Implement Policy, Bush to Turn to Administrative Orders

The White House plans to try implementing as much new policy as it can by administrative order while stepping up its confrontational rhetoric with Congress after concluding that President Bush cannot do much business with the Democratic leadership, administration officials said.

According to those officials, Bush and his advisers blame Democrats for the holdup of Judge Michael B. Mukasey's nomination to be attorney general, the failure to pass any of the 12 annual spending bills, and what they see as their refusal to involve the White House in any meaningful negotiations over the stalemated children's health-care legislation.

White House aides say the only way Bush seems to be able to influence the process is by vetoing legislation or by issuing administrative orders, as he has in recent weeks on veterans' health care, air-traffic congestion, protecting endangered fish and immigration. They say they expect Bush to issue more of such orders in the next several months, even as he speaks out on the need to limit spending and resist any tax increases.

2. He says 'he can't

work with the Dem Congress' because they
will not let him have everything his way.
His way is not the right way as Iraq has proved this.
The spoiled, petulant child, playing politics.

6. Excuse me, Il Dunce sir, but the people of this country elected a Democratic congress

specifically to keep you from implementing any more of your disastrous policies. Many of us were even hoping for some indictments or even impeachments, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.
