And really, it is only his threat of veto that even lets him sit in on the conversation in the drafting of a bill. The President didn't veto anything, because the GOP leadership had its head so far up the wrong place that it could not even put a plan together that even their own party would agree to pass. Now, if the President vetoed bill after bill that were reasonable plans, I could see blaming him for it. However, he didn't do anything other than to try and get both the House and Senate to pass a budget plan on time. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></div>
