After getting healthcare, Obama reams dems with threat to veto "insufficent" war funding bill
2010-07-10
The president's threat to veto a war funding bill is an 'unwelcome message' to House Democrats, many of whom face a tough midterm election after yielding to the White House's agenda.

The moment has been long in coming, but it may finally have arrived.

For the last year and a half, on issues including healthcare, financial regulation and climate change, Democrats in Congress have bent for President Obama. Liberals swallowed hard to accept compromises that fell short of their long-sought goals, and moderates cast tough votes that now threaten their reelection prospects as voters revolt against government overreach.

#3  Desperately trying to find a single shred to tag 'bipartisan' on. Going to need that in order to play the victim card starting January 2011.
