* I was taken aback to see that “the President has never used his veto power”:http://www.thetalentshow.org/archives/001096.html. *The Talent Show* further notes the President’s failure to curb federal spending – despite his campaign promises.

Greg,

You should know better….Bush hasn’t used his veto power because he probably doesn’t know what it is. And even if he did know what it was, he would not be able to both sign and stamp the bill–asking him do do two things at the same time is way too much to ask for.

It is so much easier to read a scripted message that once again shifts the blame for policy failures on others.
