So, you think it's OK that the people elected a republcan congress and a republican senate and expect a republican president to veto them? How about the congress do it's job? The only time there should be veto threats is if the congress and senate are in the hands of the opposition party.

As a matter of fact, I not only believe it OK, but admirable when a person has the courage, conviction, and strength of character to stand against those nearest to himself when they are doing something wrong. That's what leadership is. It has been quite commonplace in the history of our nation for presidents to veto legislation despite their own party controlling both house of Congress.
