bush's version of "compromise" if that everyone else has to do what he wants

Bush, Democrats to meet today on Iraq

WASHINGTON - President Bush showed little appetite for compromise Wednesday, hours ahead of a session with congressional leaders aimed at crafting a new bill to fund the war in Iraq.

Fresh from his Tuesday night veto of spending legislation that set timelines for U.S. troop withdrawals, Bush stuck firmly to his demands on what a follow up bill should look like. The Democrats who control Capitol Hill, and their Republican counterparts, were due at the White House Wednesday afternoon, not long after a planned attempt in the House — sure to fail — to override Bush's veto.

I don't understand why we - the american public - should compromise and not bush. he is in the minority of one and yet he refuses to compromise and demands that the rest of the world does. what the hell has happened to this country?
