Ted, > not with Obama's veto power.

Obama has the same veto power Bush has. Bush never used it. Obama won't either. Unless of course the other party is in control of Congress.

What's Obama going to do - veto his OWN legislation?

The trillion dollar stimulus ripoff was Obama's idea. Certainly, Congress love it -- as they could load it with pork.

For Obama to veto a spending measure would require the most radical change in attitude on the part of a president in history. Even Gingrich taking control and forcing Clinton to cut taxes was not anywhere near this big. This would require the onset of schizophrenia on Obama's part, for him to start showing signs of fiscal responsibility.

Not gonna happen.
