This is not a "pocket veto". A pocket veto is a term to describe what happens when the President takes no action and Congress is adjourned. When this happens, the bill does not become law. So it is the same as if he had vetoed it.
Now when the President takes no action and Congress is not adjourned, then the bill does become law. Again, it requires no action on the President's part. In a nutshell, it is the same as a Legislator voting 'Present'. It requires no courage or leadership. In essence, it is exactly what I would expect from Barack Hussein Obama.
Thanks for the explanation on what pocket veto is.
