Oh yeah.. and P.S. What makes you think this will go down in flames? I think the president could have used his position to publicly educate the people

What do you expect him to do, commandeer all print and broadcast media, until they come around to his way of thinking. Like it or not, the Leftist media is responsible for the viablility of much of the expressed opinion in this country, you need look no further than the fact that nearly one third of ALL AMERICANS own guns, yet gun control is a viable political opinion in this country....The presidents "education' would last 30 seconds after he was finished delivering it, only to be discredited for the next 2 YEARS in the media.

He could have taken to the cameras the way he did on the stem-cell research issue. We got what we wanted and he hushed the critics. He is capable of it when he wants to do it. He just didn't want to.

The media loves this bill. Are they praising Bush lite, I mean Bush for signing this?? Noooo. They'll find another issue to hammer away.

Screw the media.

The president could have gone on network TV (as he did for the stem cell decision) to explain his veto of CFR.
