No, I'm simply trying to provide some additional information that refutes RIJIMMY's black and white arguments.
As for standing up to the Dem leadership. There already have been many issues between Obama and Congress. Just because Obama ultimately signs legislation doesn't mean that he hasn't stood up to them. Even the Stimulus package contained concessions to Republicans that Obama wanted over the House Dems. Usually most Bills contain compramise language that's negoitated ahead of time. A Bill probably isn't going to go before the President unless their damn sure it's going to get the pen.
Considering that Obama was elected as a Democrat, I doubt you're going to see any real fireworks, although the stories of the Administration already working to help companies get around executive pay limitations imposed by Congress could come pretty close.
