Hogwash, at least in the case of Bush 43, who had a rubber-stamp
Congress. Look at his use of his veto power, it took him more than
five years to finally discover a bill he disapproved of enough to
veto it, prior to that he couldn't see a single wrong thing Congress
wanted to do. *Are we seriously supposed to believe the White House
and Congress weren't in sync that half decade? *It is not a credible
claim.
Don't forget the current administration allowing the Congress to draft and
pass the health care bill that will have, in spite of its pedigree, be
forever associated with him.

I'm not saying no President ever has to sign a bill he isn't really happy
with, but it's ludicrous to suggest that Bush only discovered he had a veto
power after five years or otherwise he would have vetoed a whole slew of
bills prior to that. *He used that veto a dozen times once the Democrats
took control of Congress, so if he didn't use it but once in the years the
Republicans were in charge then it is reasonable to believe he wasn't too
unhappy with the bills being sent to him.

I'm also not saying Bush got everything he wanted from Congress. *He
proposed immigration reform including a path to legal status for illegal
aliens (something folks on the right imagine only a Dem would propose) and
he didn't get it. *He also asked Congress to give him a line-item veto, but
he probably didn't seriously expect they would. *But on balance it's silly
to pretend that the Bush admin didn't have a mostly cooperative Congress the
first six years.

The rich need poor people to work for them. Illegals work for less
money than anyone else.
