And he can VETO what's put in front of him as well.

Obama threatens to veto GOP budget extension plan - Yahoo! Finance

True, but nothing will make it to his desk with all of the posturing coming from the Senate. First things first.

Again, save the big ideological disagreements for a permanent budget. Get the government funded on an interim basis and stop playing political games which only hurt soldiers and their families. Whether The District of Columbia can fund abortions or not should NOT be an issue for discussion in that type of bill. This is pure GOP political posturing this time around. Insert contentious stuff into a spending bill and then suggest that Democrats don't support the troops when they refuse to endorse it.

Both sides do it and it's nonsense. American soldiers shouldn't be used as pawns to make a political point!
