Obama should be more like George W. Bush

President Barack Obama has tried to reach across the aisle like popular Republican presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, but it has caused his image to suffer.
By trying to compromise with his Republican opponents instead of taking advantage of the Democratic Party’s majority in Congress, Obama is viewed as being ineffective at getting his key initiatives passed, particularly health care reform.
If President Obama took advantage of his majority, he would be viewed as a socialist, which Republicans have already accused him of.
Obama is hosting a health care summit Thursday to get both sides to support his failing health care initiative. Health care reform bills have been passed in the House and the Senate, but a final version has yet to cross Obama’s desk because of uproar from Republicans and their followers and the president’s desire to reach a compromise.
I think Obama should follow the example of another Republican president, George W. Bush. Bush, the last U.S. president, used the Republican’s former edge in Congress to push through his initiatives, including three major tax cuts, and then he tried to reach compromise later in a process called reconciliation.
So Obama should be more like Bush when it comes to getting his way. He would get more done and be more respected than his idiotic predecessor.By Teneshia LaFaye

Actually, it is not the Republicans who are holding things back for the Democrats – it is the Democrats themselves. There are enough votes in the House & Senate for the Democrats to pass anything they want (perfect examples are the Stimulus Bill, Cash for Clunkers, the Omnibus Bill, etc – bills that Republicans opposed but passed anyway). The problem is that there are many Democrats who recognize that this healthcare bill is bad news for America in many ways and they will not vote for it. So, please don't blame the Republicans for this. And I'd like to know how George Bush was an "idiot". It would be great if you would think for yourself instead of mimicking what you hear others say.
