SIOUX CITY, Iowa -AP- If President Bush vetoes an Iraq war spending bill as promised, Congress quickly will provide the money without the withdrawal timeline the White House objects to because no lawmaker “wants to play chicken with our troops,” Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday.
“My expectation is that we will continue to try to ratchet up the pressure on the president to change course,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I don’t think that we will see a majority of the Senate vote to cut off funding at this stage.”
This proves several things.
1: The antiwar movement in this country has nowhere near the support they’d like you to believe. Clearly the Democrats understand the political suicide cutting funding would be.
2: President Bush is nowhere near the lame duck that the left makes him out to be.
3: Ultimately, the Democrats are weaker than they make themselves out to be.
