* has a history of "negotiating with himself".

[gennifer6]

THE PRESIDENT: Listen, I'm anxious to talk to members of the
Senate about the so-called look-back provisions. But I'm going
to remind people that one way budget surpluses will not
materialize is if Congress overspends. And so any look-back
procedure has got to make sure that there are restraints to
government spending. The surest way to eat up the surplus is
to have the kind of spending that took place during the last
fiscal year, when discretionary spending increased by 8
percent.

And by the way, I'm still negotiating with myself. People keep
-- I get a suggestion from here, and a suggestion from there.
So-and-so suggests something. And good Americans such as
yourself are trying to get me to negotiate with myself.

Q: Let me just bring up another suggestion. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Another chance to negotiate with myself?

1. His cabinet choicies prove he negotiates with himself.

His cabinet are all yes individuals - of course Bush negotiates with himself because he is the only one he listens to.

especially himself. He does what he is told: by Jesus, Rummy, Dick, Condi, Rove, etc.
