That VETO stamp is gonna get pretty worn out over the next 2 years...

Obama will veto Keystone pipeline bill | MSNBC

the first of many....

 

[joe138]

It will also force Democrats like Joe Donnelly, to take a stand and make their reelection efforts that much harder. But given time the Repubs in office can jack it up.

 

[Twangbanger]

History Trivia buffs, I'm wondering...has there been another President with absolutely no legislative achievements in 6 years?

 

[Mgderf]

Veto's can be overridden.

 

[printcraft]

So, obama is now going to be responsible for shutting down the government???......
That was a horrible thing when the repubs. were supposed to be doing it.......
That's how he's going to go out?

 

[mrjarrell]

Veto's can be overridden.

Not likely in this case. The numbers just aren't there for an override. Takes 67 to override and the sponsor of the bill only has 63 supporters. Enough to pass but not to override.

Vetoes CAN be overridden... provided you can get that 2/3rds majority... do you REALLY think they can get it?

King Barack going out not in a blaze of glory but a blazing veto stamp.

Yep, way to work together, change we can feel.

 

[Shadow8088]

well, as a democrat, I'll take the blazing veto over having the entire republican agenda crammed down my throat.

 

[rosejm]

Not taking a party line here for either side...

But does it still make sense to spend all that money building this pipeline when the income that would be generated from it has dropped by 50% (and appears to be headed further south, pardon the pun).

I'm sure that's not the intention for the veto, but honestly the folks expected to outlay the funding here should be dancing a jig thrilled that they're no longer on the hook and can blame the big O.

You mean like how obamacare was crammed up American asses?

Yeah great legacy.

perhaps, but if the entire Democrat agenda had been crammed down your throat, I think you'd have a bit more to complain about besides Benghazi and Obamacare doncha think?

I LIKE that homosexuals can get married should they choose to...
I LIKE that if a woman decides to abort an unwanted pregnancy, she can...
I LIKE that I can walk into Blythe's and buy just about any firearm I want with minimal hassle...

basically I like having the FREEDOM to do just about anything I damn well want to...without having someone cram their morality down my throat.

as I've said before... I want my house with the white picket fence, I want my wife and 2.5 kids, a job to pay for it all, and you to leave me the frig alone... yeah, I know it's a lot to ask for, but all the political BS that gets done in the name of "morality" (insert whatever word you feel needs to go here) needs to leave me the eff alone.

i think I went off on a little tangent there... but screw it... I'm leaving it there...

Respectfully , sir - If you think that #3 item was brought to you by Democrats - you are delusional. I get your points on some of the interferences with liberty (gay marriage for example) - and I won't open the abortion can of worms all over again. That said, not even the most cynical Ingotarian here would suggest that Democrats = Freedom to buy firearms. Quite the reverse. You need to move to New York and see what your buddy Cuomo is doing. Or move to California with Brother Jerry Brown and the Wingnut Legislature. THAT is Democrat Paradise. THEN come back and talk to us about how easy it is to "walk into store XYZ" and buy whatever you please.

I am FROM California. I KNOW what Democrat rule feels like. You can make the Gay Marriage argument. Fine. You can make the abortion argument. Fine. Guns? No Go. Taxes (not that you brought that up) No Go.

It sounds like you have an issue with the Conservative Christian Right. Fair enough. But let's not get carried away here in our hatred. Let's be truthful about who people are and what their positions are.

There has been a lot of "cramming" going on in the last 6 years, but it's not been done by the republicans.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Sounds to me like you may want to really look into the democrat platform.

And then look into classic liberalism.

In your post just a few blow the one I'm quoting - I bet you're a liberal. Not a Democrat.

There may be a D after my name when I vote, but I do not fully support the Democratic doctrine... I'm probably more of a left leaning Independent. There are things on both sides of the fence that I agree with, I just tend to lean more towards the progressive... For the most part, I think everyone is bat crazy and think we're all screwed....

Formal veto threat against Keystone XL

 

[Shadow8088]

Seems like a lot of people don't want it...

Much like obamacare...... but we got that shoved down our throats too.

Not the scary liberals! Jeez. Not everyone who leans left is a mouth-breathing gun stealer.
