(55,981 posts)may not be true. Maybe Congress is doing exactly what he wants so he doesnt need aces. Or maybe he has no control of the Democratic Party and therefore holds no aces.
What upsets me is that he is given a pass way too often with the rationalization that he had to sign a bad bill or someone will be mad. I say bullcrap. He signs bad bills because he is either weak or approves the bad bill. Cut the "The Devil made me do it!" crap. In this thread you can see that rationalization. The sequestration has made life rough on lots of folks. What Congress is doing is fixing those things that the 1% want fixed. We cant have travelers inconvenienced because it might hurt the bottom line of the airline corporations. Now inconvenience for our Seniors, vets, school children, etc., that we can ignore.
I need to be convinced that the president hasnt bought into the 1% push for austerity for the masses.
