NEW ORLEANS, March 8 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush's position is unchanged on his threat to veto any legislation to block the Dubai ports deal, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said on Wednesday.

"The president's position has not changed," McClellan told reporters traveling with Bush to the Gulf Coast region hit by Hurricane Katrina. "We continue to work closely with Congress. The lines of communication are open."

It's a shame that those lines only go one way.

1. If he vetos it then we will be suspicious

2. Yaaaay!

"The President has not untied the boat anchor from around his neck. He is going to continue to sink and sink and sink until he hits the bottom of the ocean."

3. Reflecting their constituents' views

``This has become a very hot political potato,'' House Majority
Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. ``I have seen it in my
district. I have seen it every place I have been.''

So, instead of backing Bush on the DP World takeover, House
Republicans are largely reflecting their constituents' views and
distancing themselves from a president's whose popularity has declined.

Bush's approval rating has dropped significantly, to 34 percent in
one poll, near the lowest levels of his presidency.

4. Go ahead and veto it you worm. You have failed to veto anything

since you were installed in 2000. Make your this your FIRST veto. I dare you!

5. He made his bed

What a worthless moron.

7. Bigger news would be if he EVER changed his mind

and admitted it.

Let's face it, once his mind is made up (or is made up for him), it is literally set in
concrete.

8. So surprise! He was for it before he knew about it. What else is

new with the Stump?

9. Bush is being very stubborn about this

It must be worth an awful lot of money to at least one of his cronies.

10. Of COURSE his position is unchanged!

They own him. And this deal has Cheney written all over it.

The Pottery Barn Rule lives.
