"working with Democrats if they are receptive and leaving them behind if they're not."
This is an example of two things.
1. Why Bush scares the hell out of me as president.
2. Why Bush will never be a uniter like he claims.

This is actually an example of a strong president. Bush knows he will never get everything he wants. He knows he will have to give some things he doesn't want.
Bush is letting the democrats know that he is the one who will be setting the agenda. He is not saying anything like, "Its my way or the highway" as you are implying.
If Kerry he had won the presidency along with democratic control of the congress, he wouldn't have the leadership skills to set an agenda.
