With the House and Senate in Democratic control, President Bush will have to do some compromising in the next 2 years to accomplish a bowel maneuver, let alone implementing policy. So, he's going to have to give some to get anything done. What are to be the most likely 'first gifts' brought to the Democrats? The minimum wage and an end to immigration reform. Translation, as of tomorrow morning, our border with Mexico will be wide open..... but keep those oil subsidies in place, please....

As control of the House moves to the Democrats, Bush said immigration and minimum wage measures were areas of common ground to discuss when he meets Democratic speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi Thursday.

"We can work together over the next two years," the president said.

But he added: "She's not going to abandon her principles, and I'm not going to abandon mine. But I do believe we have an opportunity to find some common ground to move forward on."


Of all the issues to compromise on, domestic security should not be the first one coughed up. Oh well, come on in Al Queda.
