You are making me nervous. Do the Republicans know how to filibuster? (The President knows how to veto—he has done it before, I believe.)
Once in six years. Federal funding for stem cell research. The media, and the Hollywierd elite, used that veto to portray Republicans as right wing religious nut cases that didn't give a hoot about paralyzed folks or people with Parkinson's.
Not that I disagree with the veto.
But package this up and sell it as anti-corruption, Motherhood and Apple pie, and he wont' veto it any more than he vetoed CRF, which was sold as that same bill of goods. The "Moderate Republicans" will advise against such a veto, because it would be used against Republicans in the next election.
