He has vetoed nothing at this point, as the bill would have to pass the Senate for it to reach his desk. He said he WILL veto it if it ever gets to him.

As to your assertion that no other President signed as much pork, let's see some proof of that if you have it. And we must have "constant dollar" analysis, not inflated dollars compared to the less bloated ones in the past, and it needs to be expressed as a percentage in current terms, not merely in raw dollars.

Finally, hotshot, he most certainly should object to the pork, because THIS IS A BILL TO FUND THE TROOPS WHO ARE ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN A WAR. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WORSE THAN PORKING UP A BILL DESIGNED TO HURT THE WAR EFFORT AND ENTICING VOTES FOR IT BY PORKING IT UP.

Especially when they're harping daily on what the troops 'don't' have.

You are wearing rose colored glasses if you think for one minute that's how it will be portrayed in the MSM.
