Bush promised to veto this bill. He had better follow through with that promise. If he doesn't, the Dems will use it to drive a wedge between him and the base.

Uh where during his Presidency did he say he would veto this bill. I think I will be waiting a long time for that answer.

The dems are really going to have the moral authority to slam him for signing a bill they(dems) slammed through.

Sheesh you all in the DNC basement must be getting desperate now that Bush hasn't handed you all an issue, IMHO.

They won't have to - their friends in the media will do it all for them. Did you see Fox News Sunday this week? It already started there.

Would that this were so much "DNC basement" material; then it wouldn't be a serious threat to Bush's Presidency. Bush laid out conditions for CFR during the campaign. Now he's caving. (BTW: I wasn't thrilled with his campaign position, but this is even worse.)

When are you people in the choir going to realize that the issue for the Dems isn't going to be his veto of the bill, but rather his signing of the bill? One can easily make the case that he promised a veto if a bill like this reached his desk. If he fails to make good on that promise, then the Dems will be on him like white on rice. They'll howl then next two years that "he's just like his daddy."
