President Bush's diminished status has never been so obvious, with the US Senate ignoring his vetos on important legislation.

The Senate has just added tens of billions of dollars for veterans and the unemployed to Bush’s Iraq war spending legislation.

It has also ignored a Bush veto on an important farm bill.

25 Senate Republicans abandoned the White House and voted to extend jobless benefits by 13 weeks and boost the GI Bill to provide veterans enough money to pay for a four-year education at a public institution.

Congress also enacted a massive farm bill Thursday with new and bigger subsidies for farmers and more food stamps for the poor.

Once again, Congress over-rode President Bush's veto for only the second time during his seven years in office.

2. That point can't be made often enough. They can run, but they can't hide.

We've got their vote history. The Republican Congressional majority absolutely failed to hold their Executive branch in check and accountable. They enabled everything. When they lost their majority in 2006, they obstructed everything the Democrats tried to do to correct the mess the Republicans created.
