Conflict signals shelving of Bush’s domestic agenda
by Mark Silva President Bush started the year with a warm invitation to the new Democratic-controlled Congress, spelling out steps they might “take together,” from immigration reform to health care improvements to energy conservation. “We’re not the first to come here with a government divided and uncertainty in the air,” the president said in his State of the Union address in January. “Like many before us, we can work through our differences and achieve big things for the American people.” Yet now, with immigration, health care and much more sidelined, and with fading prospects for an energy bill or any other major domestic achievement during his final year, Bush chides Congress week after week for failing to meet its responsibilities to the American people. On the radio, Bush accuses congressional leaders of “political posturing.” On the road, as he did last week in Indiana, he accuses them of “acting like a teenager with a new credit card.” With the president’s public approval ratings in a yearlong slump about to surpass Richard Nixon’s for its duration the two are tied at 13 months of approval ratings below 40 percent the president has turned to one target in Washington held in even lower regard. Congressional approval stands at 20 percent in the latest Gallup Poll. The president’s escalating criticism of Congress, intensifying Democratic opposition to funding for the war in Iraq, and the arrival of a political season with control of the White House and Congress at stake may signal the end of Bush’s hopes for a major domestic achievement in his second term, analysts say.
