Giving a liberal an opportunity to CUT spending and reduce the size/scope of government in an election year is a symbolic gesture at most. Is prevents Obama from campaigning on rhetoric against “wasteful Washington spending”, when Obama holds a line-item veto pen.
Honestly name one thing Obama is going to cut this year?

I think you’re right on this one! Obama can no longer sit back and play victim when he has the power to actually eliminate some spending. This way he can be burned on the Pub side for refusing to Veto and be burned on the Dem side if he should actually use the pen on one of their Pet Projects. The “don’t blame me” President will find it more difficult to dodge responsibility no matter which side of the aisle he comes down on.
