WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - Relying on self-deprecating jokes, unusual candor and outright flattery, President Bush on Saturday wooed lawmakers he not only needs but will have to answer to in the final two years of his presidency.

Bush had not seen fit to attend a Democratic congressional retreat since 2001, his first year in office. But the new political reality that has Democrats in charge of Capitol Hill for the first time in a dozen years changed his mind. When he appeared before House Democrats at a Virginia resort, he seemed to be trying to make up for lost time.

With his first words, he sought to put to rest one bone of contention between the White House and the new congressional majority: The dropped “ic.”

Democrats found it demeaning when the president, in his State of the Union address last month, referred to the “Democrat majority,” as opposed to the “Democratic majority.”

Bush Woos House Democrats at Retreat

Here’s the part I don’t understand, why is Bush kissing the Dems asses??

When he had a Repub controlled handle on the Senate, House and SCOTUS he didn’t take care of business and he LOST both houses to the Dems and if so much as 1 Justice dies, retires or whatever, there goes the CONSERVATIVE SCOTUS too..

He’s pandering to people that NEVER did like him, and I honestly don’t think they’re gonna buy it anymore than the Conservatives and Conservative Repubs did…

Mr. Bush, you should have taken care of the CONSERVATIVES of this nation, you should have listened…
