President Bush has finally started racking up vetoes. His third veto was for a bill to expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. During the ceremony he mentioned a bill that he would have signed, if Congress bothered to pass it. This sounds familiar. Congress once tried raising the minimum wage, and Bush mentioned a bill that he could support that would also raise the minimum wage. In both cases, Congress wanted to make a point when it could have tried to make a difference.
