"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?"

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.

Ah, so you think the president should disregard the will of the people when it comes to the duty assigned to congress by the constitution?

You know, I seem to recall all kinds of people going off the deep end about the deficits caused by Reagan too.

Sure, we could have eliminated most of the deficit by telling New York they have to fix their own hole, and tell the airlines that Americans would rather walk than have to subsidise the airlines. We also could have avoided all that military spending too just by coming up with some kind of theory about fuel lines or something causing those "accidents" at the WTC.
