You can not petition the President with prayer, or anything else

And Our Dear Embattled Leader took the opportunity to remind Congress and the American people that he does not and will not negotiate with them.They can talk all they want but
On one hand, Bush extended an offer to meet with lawmakers next Tuesday. On the other, the White House bluntly said it would not be a negotiating session.
And for good luck he repeated the lie that His Veto was all Congress' fault. As if they had any right to tell him what to do! And his audience for this declaration of war on Congress and the people was an American Legion post. You remember the American Legion, an organization of former veterans, notorious for their blind and vigorous support of all the Bushovik incompetence and failure in Iraq.

And the Democratic response? It was reasoned and intelligent and nowhere nearly as powerful a sound bite as ODEL's lies.
"Congressional Democrats are willing to meet with the President at any time, but we believe that any discussion of an issue as critical as Iraq must be accomplished by conducting serious negotiations without any preconditions," they said in a joint statement.

"With his threat to veto such a plan for change in Iraq, President Bush is ignoring the clear message of the American people: We must protect our troops, hold the Iraqi government accountable, rebuild our military, provide for our veterans and bring our troops home. The president is demanding that we renew his blank check for a war without end."
Adult speech that will have no effect on the Lord of the Flies.
