No idle threat
What was that line for Clint Eastwood's character in Sudden Impact? - "Go ahead, make my day." I wouldn't say President Bush wants to veto the farm bill, but he is acting a lot like Harry Callahan with a .44 of late. I'll have some coverage of Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer's speech at United for The Packer, but in general he wasn't very optimistic that the farm bill as it is now constituted has much of a chance to be signed by President Bush. I asked Schafer if the farm bill is going to fall victim to a political choice by President Bush to make a statement against excess government spending and taxes. He didn't agree with my premise and in fact suggested that Congress may be willing to override a Presidential veto on an unworthy farm bill to score political points with their constituents. Eye of the beholder...

A lame duck president with an ignoble record is just reading from the script at this point and has lost all control of the economy with his policies. The respect is gone and the farmers and people are taking back their control and intelligence. The "hill" no longer matters.
