Poll question: Is the current $780 billion "compromise" stimulus bill now unsupportable?
Should Obama veto the bill if it lands on his desk in the Oval Office and tell the Senate to try again?

1. No, Obama should just do what he wants to it with signing statements.
Chimpy did it and no one batted an eye, Obama should act in kind.

2. I can't bring myself to agree with that idea
Tempting as it is, I want Obama to distance himself from this whole "Unitary Executive" folly.

3. He can't add stuff through signing statements
but even if the Senate passes it as described, it still has to go to conference committee to work out differences with the House bill... so it will change some more.

4. Why would Obama veto it. When he can add to it in Conference?
