“...back in the day presidents were very cautious about using the veto
power, but under Barack Obama it’s nothing but reckless tyranny.
Assuming that Obama vetoes the Keystone Pipeline, consider this
remarkable record of indiscriminate vetoes in historical context:
Obama: 3 (5, pro-rated to a full two terms)
the shrub: 12
ronny raygnn: 78
clumsy ford: 66 (in less than 3 full years!)
tricky dick: 43 (less than 2 full terms)
Dwight Eisenhower: 181
Calvin Coolidge: 50 (less than 2 full terms)
Teddy Roosevelt: 82
Grover Cleveland: 584
As
you can see, the data is clear. Obama’s lawlessness and obstructionism
are unparallelled. The veto used to be a very rare event, but now
it’s ubiquitous.”
— Scott Lemieux, Lawyers, Guns and Money, using “facts” and
“evidence” to note that Barack Obama is not be abusing the veto power
against a repugican congress …
