He can’t, Congress has to override with a 2/3 vote.

The same way he excused his decision before when he said "I screwed up." That'll get him applause from his followers who want their president to be "human" and just as dumb as them.

Come to think of it, maybe Obama has planned to have the absurd budget proposed so at the last minute, he can step in and veto it - showing that he has "listened" to the public. That just might be his ploy...to get everyone up in arms, and then to come swooping down to save the country.

“Veto his OWN BIll?

It works VERY well for him, a masterstroke, IF he is able to convince the American People that he is doing so because what Congress hath brought for his signature is not what he hath wrought for their approval.

Unfortunately for him, he cannot play that card. If he throws Congress under the bus he is at best lame-duck done right there and then. Too many in Congress sold their very souls in addition to their constituents’ futures for tickets on the “0-Train.”

The potential presidency-destroying rift is there. Anyway you look at it, he has soooooooooo jumped the shark.

Add to this the swelling ranks of the unemployed.
Add to this the markets going into a power-dive every time he speaks.
Add to this the mess his SoS has made of Israel-US relations.
Add to this the “Iran help/missile shield offer ‘letter-what-letter?’” Russian debacle.
Add to this his snubbing of the British PM.
Add to this PM Brown's warning to 0 re. "protectionism."
Add to this the GOP accusing 0 of "cooking the books."
Add to this Carville’s statement of admission re. “targeting” Rush.

Add to this the resulting Limbaugh firestorm and call to debate.

And those are but a few among the many "0" headlines currently on Drudge's page

Yes; veto that bill, Mr. President. Your handlers would welcome the distraction.
