CNN:

Bush takes double-barreled aim at Congress

President Bush assailed the Democratic-led Congress Saturday for challenging him over funding the Iraq war and the firing of federal prosecutors, and demanded that lawmakers back down.

Bush has threatened to veto a bill passed by the House that ties a deadline for a troop withdrawal to the latest emergency bill to fund the war.

A showdown is also looming as Democrats in Congress seek testimony under oath of Bush's close political aide, Karl Rove, and other White House advisers over the ouster last year of eight U.S. attorneys.

I like the framing. He wants a Constitutional crisis, let him cause one. We have the poll numbers. People are sick of him. Let him continue provoking Congress and the public. We'll see what happens...

UPDATE: The Washington Post's take:

President Bush accused the Democratic-led Congress of wasting taxpayers' time picking fights with the White House instead of resolving disputes over money for U.S. troops and the firings of the U.S. attorneys.

In his weekly radio address Saturday, Bush called on Democratic leaders in Congress to move beyond political discord and take bipartisan action on both issues that have driven a wedge between the Bush administration and Capitol Hill.

The most arrogant, partisan, and confrontational Administration in U.S. history whines about partisanship. I forgot to add: the most hypocritical, too!
