  • cjdunn, on 10/19/2007, -1/+11Presidents have the right to veto "bad bills" (as Congress have the right to overturn that veto). Presidents DO NOT have the right to veto bills to get attention, which is what Junior is essentially saying. "Look at me! Look at me! Veto! Veto!"
    Poor George. Worst. President. EVAR! And he doesn't even realize it.

    Thanks a lot Bush, our first LOLpresident. Google may have stopped listing you as the first result for "miserable failure" but you are still #1 on Yahoo, Microsoft Live, and Ask.com. May that remain with you forever.
  • hawkeye17, on 10/19/2007, -1/+7Face it folks...Dennis the Menace is our President. Bush is a child and his petulance is vivid proof of that fact.
  • bringmeupmusic, on 10/19/2007, -1/+7Man he burns me up. He's such a horrible public speaker. In addition to not knowing how to speak impressively, he also doesn't know how to prove himself worthy of his presidency. Did he think a statement like that would help him to redeem himself? Did he honestly? Is he really THAT unaware?

    I'm burying this because I'm in the news section to, you guessed it, read news. I don't mind pictures. but if it's not something I can do quietly at my desk it shouldn't be here. I go to the videos section when I'm at home.
  • somespecial, on 10/19/2007, -10/+3Presidents have the authority to veto. It's how our system works, not sure why he has to explain it.
