Don't be blaming the President when your party can't get enough votes to override his veto in spite of controlling the Congress.
AFAIK Bush only veto'd two bills related to defense spending during his term of office, neither of which were aimed at curtailing war spending nor vetoed on those grounds. Both bills were soon modified by Congress and subsequently signed by Bush into law. So yeah it's real funny Gimpy.

Oh no, that overly simplistic blame game just won't fly anymore. Although Congress has been controlled by your party for almost
4 straight years, the last two with a liberal Democratic president even, they still haven't stopped anything, so that pretty much blows your statement right out of the water.
