Schumer questions Bush's meaning of 'compromise'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said Wednesday that his party is ready to work with President Bush in the next Congress, but expressed doubts about the president's recent call for bipartisanship.
"We hope that when the President says compromise, it means more than 'do it my way,' which is what he's meant in the past," Schumer said in a statement. In an opinion column in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, President Bush wrote, "Together, we have a chance to serve the American people by solving the complex problems that many don't expect us to tackle, let alone solve, in the partisan environment of today's Washington." -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
