I think it's possible. I believe the Dems have an opportunity and a risk.
The opportunity is to put things back on track if they can work with Bush.
The risk is that it turn into a witchhunt. I think there is a lot of
justification for and there should be investigations by Congress into what
happened w.r.t. the war in Iraq, the corruption that went on, and the state
of affairs of homeland security. But, it should be a fact-finding effort,
that only assigns blame and punishment to those who deserve it. It should
not be a "let's get the Republicans" tar and feather party to ensure they
remain out of power for 20 years no matter what.
On the other side, Bush needs to get the message that the people want
change, and he needs to truly try and work with Congress to get things done.
He was able to do this as Governor, so it's time to get moving. I'm not
convinced he's truly gotten the message, but it's possible.
I think his presidency has been severely damaged, and certainly his "legacy"
has been tarnished by the war in Iraq. It's possible for him to turn the
remainder of his lame duck time into doing the right thing. It's up to him.
My view is that he should dump the neocons who are left, sideline Cheney
(who's power has diminished because Rummy is gone), and stifle Rove. In
other words, he needs to start acting like the President of the US, not the
president of his fan club.

Let them Ramble Jon,
Those Right Wing GOPers some where in their very narrowly minded vision
lost sight of the fact that they exist in a "Democratic-Republic" They
have somehow come to believe that the will of the people will be done,
no longer is the Law Of the Land. They like their leader George 2nd seem
to have lost sight of the fact that Majority Rules,
Let them Rant;-----that all they have left; that and a "Lame Duck
President"
Yup! When you're right, you're wrong. :-)
And you honestly believe these next two years are going to be productive
and harmonious.
