Why DON'T they like Romney?

But seriously--what is the point of having a presidential veto if he won't use it?

In the end, I'm not surprised, and I am beginning to agree with those of you who see Mitt Barak Romobama as essentially the same guy. While the real action will take place in Congress, if the Prez has the power to stop something, then he should do so if he is against it. I do not buy that he's against it but bowing to the will of the people.

I agree - basically "change" has shown itself to be "business as usual". And Obama has done nothing to stand in the way of it.

ETA: He should still have vetoed it, but it looks like it already had 2/3's support in the House and the Senate for an override.

(House) "House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act in a bipartisan 283-136 vote. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) joined 189 other Republicans and 93 Democrats in voting for passage of the measure, while 43 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted against it."

(Senate) "Voting in favor were 45 Democratic and 41 Republican senators with just six Democrats, six Republicans and one independent opposed."
