After almost 6 years of signing every bill that landed on his office desk, he will be completing his second veto of his political career. Due to the fact that the republican party has both control of the house and the senate, it will be hard for Obama's veto to make a huge impact, due to the fact that 3/4th of both the house and senate will have to vote for the bill for it to be passed. The republican party is currently working on chipping away at the health care reform policy, and are making it slowly and surely.
As for the connection to our class, he is the president, and he makes a huge deal due to the fact that he has so much political power. The author of the article seems very sided toward the republicans, that Obama is just making it a huge deal.
Great article. I think that this issue is very interesting, the pipeline should be built. Thank you for pointing out this dilemma that will most likely be worked out soon.
