That's when Bush needs to sharpen his line item veto pen.
Our president should veto every bit of dem pork in every part of the budget, then close the door as he walks away.
He should refuse to talk to any democrat about anything until they return the funds to our troops.
He should send out a press release that clearly states that this bitch is killing our military heroes by refusing to fund them.
That's when Bush needs to sharpen his line item veto pen. There is no such thing. He can refuse to spend appropriated funds, at least in most cases, but probably not "entitlements".
He would have to veto bills wholesale. Which he could, and IMHO should, do. But the screeching in the DNC media will be horrific.
