(57,936 posts)Compare that to other presidents. I have posted the link to Wikipedia's page on the presidential veto many times. It's easy to find.
When a president is unhappy with Congress, he vetoes bills that contain provisions he disagrees with.
The veto is the tool the president uses to get Congress to work with him, to bargain with him.
Obama's failure to use his veto is a giveaway that he supports what Congress is doing.
Will I vote for and work for Obama? Yes. Because, in spite of his failure to stand up for what is wrong, he is the lesser of the two evils.
If Romney is elected, we won't have even the pretense of the third way. We will have Fascism, outright and direct.
I would like to know how many Republicans in Congress know the details of the negotiations. It's may be just liberals who are kept in the dark.
