There is nothing in this post about my thinking about whether the President should have veto'd the bill... What is there is who has responsibility for legislation. The Congress or the President.

Both, boss. Congress drafts legislation, the President signs it. PoliSci 101. Bush has the power to block it.

You are correct... both have responsibility....

But legislation come from Congress.

Bush can veto it and hope it is not over-ridden.

But, we both know that since he campaigned for prescription drugs, the bill was going to pass and he was going to sign it.

Now, this is my opinion on what Bush did... it is not an opinion on whether I think he should have veto'd it or not. I still haven't addressed the subject... so, don't go off, half-cocked, skewing my posts to fit your agenda.
