Bush is obviously starting to take some public slinging from his own side:
The Washington Times
Chris Edwards, director of fiscal policy at the libertarian Cato Institute, said the Bush record on spending has been a major disappointment.
"My impression of Bush is that I've never seen him give a speech in which he says government is too big and we need to cut costs," Mr. Edwards said, pointing out that President Reagan vetoed 23 bills in his first three years in office, while Mr. Bush has yet to unsheathe his veto pen.
What are the chances that he might veto one of the lesser bills that sit in front of him now? Short of that, what's the chances that there will be a piece of legislation passed next year that will be presented to him for the direct purpose of letting him wield his Presidential Veto and display his sincerity for "stopping Congressional Spending"?
