#1 That's a shocker.

#2 Thats why we elected him.

#3 It will only matter if he follows up with a serious speech and beats the hell out of the democrats for it. Just like in a military campaign, right now they are due for some serious "shock and awe".

Hopefully, it would be like Reagan's "Light a candle and put it in the window for Poland" speech, that had most of the granny ladies in the country raiding Hallmark stores in tears. Except this time, they should be carrying torches and pitchforks and calling for Pelosi and Reid to be burnt at the stake as witches.

#4 Go ahead Harry. Try to "ram" the bill down Bush's throat. I think you will never get the 2/3 required to override the veto and your constituents will "ram" their veto down your throat come some November.
Either that or a returning vet will ram something else down your throat.

#5 George W. must feel like taking a hot shower after interacting with Reid or Pelosi.

#6 Lacking the votes to override the president, Democrats have already signaled they intend to approve a replacement bill stripped of the troop withdrawal timetable.

And veto the next one, until they take the 'pork' out of it.

#7 Democrats accused Bush of ignoring Americans' desire to stop the war. For a party that relies on polls to form policy why are they ignoring the voice of the people on this issue? As posted here the other day, poll after poll shows the American people are against withholding funds for the Iraq war. Also, a Public Opinion Strategy (POS) poll finds 57% of voters support staying in Iraq until the job is finished and the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security for its people. And 59% of voters say pulling out of Iraq immediately would do more to harm Americas reputation in the world than staying until order is restored. Quit lying harry and start listening to all the people.

#8 The Dems are now going to take five days to have an override the veto vote. (Burn 5 more days, and lets see how Hagel the Dip votes on that one.) Then it's about 15 more days to garbage another anti-troops bill and then take a Memorial Day break to 'honor the troops'. This is insanity.

#9 Times like this I wish W could give a decent speech. He's done it once or twice, but the usual fare is pretty mean.

#10 Dems are pandering to the Nutroots crowd prior to the primaries. Once that's over they'll do a quick fake to the right.
