Bush need not be a lame duck

The conventional wisdom is that the Bush administration is over and it is just a matter of waiting out its last 18 months. But John Podesta, President Clinton’s chief of staff from 1998 to 2001, wrote a Washington Post commentary offering advice on how to stay productive and not be a lame duck. His advice to the Bush White House: Keep your agenda positive and robust. Find common ground. Find ways to use appropriations to move the ball forward. Use executive power wisely.
