The exact meaning of "work with" was not revealed.

2. My thoughts exactly
Working with him means rubber stamping like the GOP did. We better not.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush, facing a Democratic-controlled Congress
for the first time, is urging lawmakers to work with his administration and
warning that "political statements" in the form of legislation would result
in a stalemate.

"Together, we have a chance to serve the American people by solving the
complex problems that many don't expect us to tackle, let alone solve, in the
partisan environment of today's Washington," Bush wrote in a guest column for
The Wall Street Journal posted on the newspaper's Web site Tuesday night.

"To do that, however, we can't play politics as usual," he said. "Democrats
will control the House and Senate, and therefore we share the responsibility
for what we achieve."

Bush, while sounding a tone of bipartisanship on the eve of the new session
of Congress that begins Thursday, repeated long-held positions on the war
in Iraq, tax cuts and other issues often criticized by Democrats
. He has
vetoed only one bill, but he reminded readers that the Constitution calls
on the president to use his judgment in deciding which bills to sign into law.

Mr. President, the American people voted for change in November. Respect that.

7. To Bush, "bipartisan" means
Both parties doing things HIS way.

8. Wonder why it's not, 'Let's work together'?
Guess we're supposed to work with him but he's not supposed to work with us. I'm certain he really believes that. Uh, Junior? Elections have consequences. Were you awake at any time in November?
