Why issue a veto threat against the original bill but not against the version sent to his desk?

This is a fait accompli. If anyone is foolish enough to still have hope and wants to lose some money, send me a message.

edited to add: it was sent to his desk on Dec 15, which means his most probable time to sign it is on Christmas Eve when everyone is too busy with family to pay attention. If you think I'm too cynical, look at what major policy action happened on Christmas Eve 2009.
