Who cares ?
Another win for the GOPe.
You got that right. Look at Joe Manchin out there beating the bushes.
Just send congress home, with the post turtle and the tangerine at the helm it’s just a waste.
No they didn't. They failed to override it.
The senate does not "uphold" a presidential veto. They either override the veto or they do not override it.
Wait until the Middle East blows up again and oil prices spike at above $200 per barrel. We will wish to heck we had this pipeline and could tell the Arab oil producers to eat sand. Obama’s Middle East policy just about assures another war so $5 gas could be just over the horizon.
Keep hammering at that fissure in the Democrat Party between the Environuts and the Unions.
Yep, good post. All it takes is one event to spike oil prices. And we’re long overdue for it.
Sickening.
They didn’t listen to Bibi yesterday.
Our traitorous government at it again.
Burn it all down and start over, both parties are worthless as-is.
They used Bibi to cover their betrayal of American citizens.
“Obama and his enabling democrats have turned their back on US jobs and the hard working citizens of America.”
This should be the starting sentence for every anti-incumbent campaign for the next election cycle. From there the voice over should go to show how the incumbent supported Obama on either Keystone or immigration.
Exactly, and the Rats that failed to override this veto will fade away and have nothing to say.
Did someone from the GOP vote for the veto?
