I love this president and think he will go down in history as a great man, but he is not a fiscal conservative, although he is a social conservative and both are important to me.

Congress is sending those spending bills to the President. And while it's true he could veto them, it's also true that the Republican Congress should be expected to do some of the heavy lifting when it comes to the conservative agenda. Instead they have shifted the entire burden to the White House, either waiting to get on board those policies that appear popular or to run for the hills when the fight looks tough. Their performance has been abysmal and they are as vacuous as the Democrats when it comes to leadership.

The Highway Bill .. which I think the President should have been vetod

But Congress has a VERY bad habit of attaching huge pork projects to important legislation

Like the Military Spending that was need for the military fighting in Iraq

Isn't that what got his father's presidency in trouble....the Dem's spending?
