4. The war funding bill that Bush will veto.

pay attention folks!

[maddezmom]

6. well I was watching CSPAN2 and didn't hear anything about this

sorry. :)

[Beaverhausen]

9. You've heard nothing about the war funding bill that Reid, Pelosi and Bush have been argueing about?

with the timeline for withdrawl?

ok.....

[maddezmom]

12. of course I've heard about the War Funding Bill

you could do a search on my posts, but what I was inquiring about was a 3pm signing ceremony. Would that be the dems holding a cerermony, the dems and bush or the dems watching * sign a veto. :shrug: Do you have some info you'd like to share? :)

[jackstraw45]

13. So the Dems, who can't sign a bill, are having a ceremony before Bush vetos?

We pay attention but posts like the above don't make sense. Last time I checked, the POTUS signed bills, not the Dems in Congress who vote on bills.

[madokie]

14. I think they said harry and nancy were going to sign the bill

:shrug:

[maddezmom]

17. I didn't hear it, but I'm wondering if they are going to hold a presser

after the veto. :shrug: Wasn't trying to give you a hard time, just wanted to know what was going on. :hug:

[madokie]

23. no biggie, my bad to not include so info.

hell I'm an excitable boy and I was excited :pals:

[maddezmom]

thanks

At least I'm not alone in wonder what the OP was saying. ;)

[Beaverhausen]

16. Well, the dems are having a signing ceremony today. Maybe it's just symbolic

and seeing as it's happening on the 4th anniversay of "mission accomplished" it looks like a pretty good PR move to me.

There were several threads about this yesterday. I guess some people didn't see them.

[jackstraw45]

2. Is it a sign language convention? Love these vague posts...nt

nt

5. A clue for the citizens of the United States of America, please

toss us a frikkin bone...what are you posting about?

[madokie]

11. my bad sometimesI just take it for granted we are all on the same page

[UTUSN]

7. The official response:

[EnviroBat]

10. Mmmmmm, delicious bunneeeeee....

[peacetalksforall]

15. Dems are going to hold a press event to 'sign' the bill that is then

going to be given to George Bush to veto. If that's the story we're talking about, I applaude them.

[madokie]

18. thats the one. and I applaud them also

[maddezmom]

20. Thank you

I didn't see those threads. I've been off in LBN and E&O land. :)

19. If only, if only, people who are privileged to follow the news unfettered

by responsibilities - should either announce that they are going to talk to others who are privileged - or be nice ,,, and write for those who aren't privileged.

21. more info

From NBC's Mike Viqueira
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid will stage a "signing ceremony" for the contentious Iraq supplemental tomorrow afternoon -- before sending it to President Bush for a promised veto.

Known as enrollment, every bill that passes Congress must have the signature of congressional leaders. But this is very seldom done in a public ceremony.

[joanski0]

22. This is a Congressional signing ceremony.

The Cong. leaders always sign the bills before they go to the White House. This time they are making a public ceremony out of it before they send it to Bush*.

It will be sent to bush* tomorrow, then the Congressional people will meet with him to talk about what to do next.

This is from Keith Olberman's e-mail newsletter:

"On the surface, there's not much suspense about what happens next in the battle between President Bush and Democratic lawmakers over the war in Iraq. Bush says he will veto the $124-billion war spending bill passed by both houses of Congress last week that requires him to begin withdrawing troops this year; when he does, Democrats say, they will protest and then send him the money without binding conditions. That noisy script, however, is just a prelude to a debate - under conditions likely to be more difficult for Bush - that could turn into a decisive moment for the course of the war. To buy time for his buildup of more than 28,000 troops to show results, Bush asked his commander in Iraq, Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, to deliver a progress report to the nation in early September. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-assess30apr30,1,1153351.story?coll=la-headlines-politics"

24. By the way, thanks! I was wondering what time this is happening

[partylessinOhio]

25. Waste of time. * has already announced he is addressing the people

at 6pm after he vetoes the bill.

He deserves the stern hand of the electorate by impeaching him for his violations of his powers under the Constitution. That will send him a strong message not this little "you slap my hand and I'll slap you back!"



Stop kissing up to him!

[blogslut]

27. Not a waste of time

The fact is, Bush has to go on the teevee tonight because he's skeered. Our Dems are going on teevee because they can.

Happy Mission Accomplished Day!

26. Thanks for the info!

28. I predict he goes for Reaganesque.

Lots of shrugging, tsk, tsking in his creepy low voice.
