The threat sure made us perk up and pay attention, that's for sure.

"Will he? I wonder if he will. Gee, I hope so. Come on, Obama! Oh, he's not gonna? Really? No, really?! Dammit! I'm sure he wanted to but he just can't. They won't let him. Poor guy. Everybody, stop criticizing him. It's not his fault! He wanted to veto it."

Actually, I heard the reason for the veto was because the Executive was not given sole authority to make the determination. It wasn't because it was anything like unconstitutional.
