Regardless of what Congress sends to the President to sign into law, it's the President who signs it. Nancy Pelosi can draft a bill stating all welfare queens get Armani shopping bags, and if Bush signed it, he owns it.

I said the last couple years.

I think Obama has already signed a couple "imperfect" bills. The dem's can control what the President signs. They just didn't allow anything to pass them that they didn't want or agree too. then they would claim they were decieved by the evil Bush. But we won't bring up their lack of attention to detail. At least not while we have the big "AIG bonus crisis" on our hands.

Kind of ironic that they still don't read the bills they push through.
