President Obama (Image by Clotee Pridgen Allochuku) Details DMCA | Republicans didn't really think that President Obama was going to let slide their years of obstruction did they? The odds are that the president's first act of punishment could be a veto of the bill to authorize the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. During his press conference on Friday, the president said, "On most issues, in order for their initiatives to become law, I'm going to have sign off. And that means they have to take into account the issues that I care about, just as I'm going to have to take into account the issues that they care about." In other words if Republicans think that they can unilaterally jam their agenda down the president's throat, they are going to be in for a big surprise. |
