[Pirate Smile]

[wtmusic]

That's juvenile W shit.

[G_j]

7. not just for bullies

veto is also a necessary option in the democratic process, ...balance of powers and all..

[Richard D]

9. Rope-A-Dope Strategy, as practiced by Ali on Foreman.

That is the most optimistic interpretation of things.

Not sure if it will turn out to be true or not. Fingers crossed.

If such a strategy is being pursued, it is a long-term one, and will not find out if it has been effective for months.

Yes, I know it's troubling, because it mirrors so many of the same old same old "keep the powder dry" bullshit.

But if we are correct (if indeed that was what you meant), then it just looks the that.

Fingers crossed...

11. I guess they can pass the blame around..

if it doesn't do the trick. feels too much like the Titanic... LOL

[tritsofme]

6. Why would Obama threaten to veto bills that have already won approval of Congressional Democrats?

That would signal a major rift between Obama and Congress and would probably be bad news.

So I'm not sure where you're really going here.

10. just trying to make a point

about the way power can be used.

12. i think so. obama has to announce his presence with authority...

[Angleae]

13. He'll just call up Pelosi or Reid and tell them to kill it.
