re: #56 Reginald Perrin

He may have done in order to get bipartisan support for a future energy bill.
Someday the president has got to realize that it is a waste of time trying to compromise with Republicans, it always backfires.

For whatever reason, it still doesn’t sound like the action of a man trying to get cap&trade through the back door.

And you know, I sort of felt like it was a waste for Bush to try to compromise with Democrats, same reasons you cite.
