Shrub signed 1,129 bills, and only 1/3 he didn't attach a signing stmt!
Kerry is speaking on the Senate floor now about stem cell research. He said the Senate is divided on this issue mainly ecause Shrub is against it and he has some who will not go against him. then he began talking about Presidential vetoes. He said Shrub has signed 1,129 bills into law and has not vetored even ONE! That struck me. If he only signed 1,129 and attached a signing statement to 750 of them...HOLY SH*T...that means he disagreed with 75% of them!!!!!!
1. Shameless kick since I posted this just as DU went down.
I just think everyone needs to be aware of this. Everyone's heard Shrub did 750 signing statements, but I don't think they realize it was 75% of the total number of bills he signed! I know I didn't!
