That other thing.
Four years since "Mission Accomplished," and El Shrubbo used his pen to scrawl the very second red X on something of his administration.
I'm going to put on my extra-partisan hat here for a moment.
WHY AREN'T THE DEMOCRATS OR THE CHICKENHAWKS EXCORIATING HIM FOR "NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS" BECAUSE HE JUST VETOED $124 BILLION IN MILITARY SPENDING, HMMM?
Mr. Pro-War President just cut the military off at the pocketbook, and NOBODY is calling him on it. They're blaming Congress. Guess what, fucksticks? CONGRESS PASSED THE BILL.
That's the Democrats' problem - they're too fucking nice. Light into him for "Not supporting the troops" by hanging them out to dry; under-equipped, with funding set to dry up in the next two months, when he could have done something about it.
This isn't even about the open-ended asshattery of the myriad evils; this is cut and fucking dried. For a guy who says he's behind our troops and the war, he just gave them all a big ol' "Fuck You" with that veto.
Somebody hold his dick to the fucking fire for it.
[This is why all politics is bullshit - the Democrats made a clever play to make the President be the bad guy, and now that he's gone and done so, NOBODY is standing up and saying "ZOMG, THERE IS A FUCKING ELEPHANT IN THE BEDROOM!" You laid the trap, he walked right fucking into it, now pull the fucking trigger and let's see some brain matter hit the fucking wall. Don't become the pussies the GOP knows you are, Dems. Harry Reid can't have -all- the balls in the party.]

Not surprising from this "elected" official
Re: Not surprising from this "elected" official
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution
"Before a bill becomes law, it must be presented to the President, who has ten days (excluding Sundays) to act upon it. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law. If he disapproves of the bill, he must return it to the House in which it originated together with his objections. This procedure has become known as the veto, although that particular word does not appear in the text of Article One. The bill does not then become law unless both Houses, by two-thirds votes, override the veto."
