I have been bemused for the last few years, buy the media and others that have complained..that Bush "hasn't vetoed ONE bill"...

I did not know that one of the job requirements of the POTUS, is to veto bills! Also, when the POTUS is the same party as the majority in both Houses of Congress, one would assume that NO bill should be sent to the POTUS that would require vetoing!!!

However, that doesn't mean that I and certainly a lot of conservatives are HAPPY with the spending bills....unfortunately, the Congress is made of people that seem to have a lifetime mandate...and therefore, seem oblivious to the public's outcry to cut the pork.

BUT, I will say that when Katrina happened, I was glad that Bush hadn't vetoed any bills, because sure as shooting, no matter what bill it would have been...the MSM and dems would have found a way to attach that vetoed bill for the REASON there was so much death and destruction by Katrina.

How true and how warped and sad

No complaint from me. I have said exactly the same thing for some time now. Bush is supporting his Republican congress, which happens to have a bunch of Prima-donnas in it who all want to be reelected. Still, there are times I'd like to see him veto just one bill to send the message about pork spending.
