Just like a rattlesnake
Even when you think he is dead, or in his case irrelevant, he makes it clear that you can't trust him until the sun goes down on his reign. In his best petulant "dog-in-the-manger" attitude, Our Dear Ain't-He-Gone-Yet Leader threatens to veto legislation that helps people instead of corporations.
As the House prepared to vote on a housing-relief bill offered by Democratic leaders, President Bush on Wednesday told the lawmakers, in effect, not to bother.What he makes clear is that he will veto any useful legislation that comes from Congress and only wants to see the fiscally dangerous and morally reprehensible legislation that he sent to the Hill.
“I will veto the bill that’s moving through the House today if it makes it to my desk,” the president said at the White House, after meeting with Republican House leaders. “I urge members on both sides of the aisle to focus on a good piece of legislation that is being sponsored by Republican members.”
Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the House majority leader, issued a statement asserting that while Democrats have a sensible plan to shore up the housing market, “President Bush has a plan to sit on his hands for nine more months.”That's Our Li'l Georgie! Spiteful to the end.
