But that will work against him in the long run. And he won't want to be called the Abominable "No" Man

of course! bush hasn't had any actual challengers before - remember the "Rick Santorum - 98% voting record with Bush" on those Bob Casey, Jr. commercials - so he'll probably say to the press they're going to find a middle ground or something and then veto anything they push at him. after all, how good of a president can a guy really be if he only won by 2%?

If he proves himself to be the spoiled brat that I think he is, YES. Hopefully, he is not as immature as he makes himself out to be. What else is a lame duck going to do? He should have been better prepared for this outcome.
We will see in the coming months what kind of leader he really is. I remember him saying once that he was a uniter, not a divider. A gracious leader, an effective leader, a good leader, will work with the Congress that was given him by the voters, to make this country a better place to live. We will see where his loyalties really lie, with the people, or with corporate America.

If the most Liberal members of the house are the ones with the most power, yes.
He would be proud to be called the abominable no man the last one called that by the Dems was Jim Miller Ronald Reagan's budget director, and Jim Miller is a great man!

I'm sure that veto stamp will run out of ink daily now that the Dems took the house

Likely possible but I think the results of this election may have humbled the man and his puppeteers. Once some of the good ol' boys' scandals simmer down and the ratings creep up a bit higher than the drain that they are circling, we may just see a little bit of ********* coming from the Bush again. Time will tell.

Oh yes. Don't expect this dictator to back down. They might have to drag him out with the horses. So be it, his choice.
The last thing I would expect is for Bush to respect the will of the people.

Yes, but if he does he will see a lot of congressional oversight hearings. So he'll have to choose his battles carefully.
