Wow

I had no idea of the extent to which President Bush is actively trying to prevent Congress from getting anything done. After one veto in his first six years, he is now up to seven, and has threatened to veto 53 pending bills, shown below. This just seems to be a conscious effort to keep Congress from getting anything done. If nothing else, you can easily conclude that Pres. Bush has no desire to work with Congress.
