 NEW YORK (AP) - Democratic New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Monday said President Bush and Congress need to work together to end their stalemate over the direction to take in Iraq.
"At this point in time I would say to them, get into a room," Spitzer said at the annual meeting of The Associated Press. "It is an embarrassment before the nation, before the world, that we cannot pass a budget that funds our troops, that ensures their safety and their security, but the president should understand the public tolerance for this war has run its course."
Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, said the nation's founding fathers deliberately built into the Constitution tension between the branches of government, and both sides must find a way to work within those checks and balances.
