Congressional Democrats, delighted
with George Bush s stubborn resistance to their every request, have invited him
to run for a third term. Forgoing support for their own roster of Democratic
candidates, they have offered to vote for an exception to the 2-term limit.
Bush seemed pleased by the offer,
saying, I ve been concerned that, if by
a long shot, a Democrat gets elected, my policy on Iraq might get changed. So I
welcome the Democratic initiative to help me keep the war on track.
Hillary Clinton, a bit miffed by her
loss of Democratic support, commented, I
just don t understand what Democrats are doing asking George Bush to run for
another four years when they could have just as much fun bashing me.
Senator Barack Obama joined in the
disinclination to support the initiative, saying, While I understand the entertainment value
four more years of George Bush would offer the Democratic party, support for
this alarming idea is enough to make me consider becoming a Republican.
Exactly how the new Democratic push
to reelect President Bush will work out remains uncertain. Apparently, their
support for it depends on the unwavering obstinacy of the President.
