Why not now?

Obama stands for change and has the backing of the democrat party. He has ideas of how to change things. These things, he believes, would be of great help to America. Apparently, his democrat colleagues also believe his proposed changes would be of great benefit. At this time, the democrats control the House and Senate. So, why not send legislation to Bush that is exactly what Obama wants. Nothing extra. Nothing less. This way, the obstruction of the present administration and the need for Obama in the White House can be clearly demonstrated. This would be similar to the Republican contract with America, where changes were done with a Democrat president. In that case, Clinton did go along with much of the contract. Perhaps Bush would go along with the dems as well. The positive spin of doing good for us even before being elected would definitely be change that I could believe in.
