Bush wasn’t aware of this deal
So let me get this straight: Bush was completely unaware of the deal, but when the public and members of Congress questioned it, his immediate reaction was to quite strongly denounce critics and vow to veto any attempt to block it? It seems a more appropriate reaction to discovering a controversy on an issue he wasn't even aware of, is to investigate it ?? That is if, in fact he really was unaware.
Anyway, any thoughts on this veto??? Is it possible? Will it come to be????

Also NJ plans on filing a lawsuit, to stop the takeover. Maybe some East Coasters can keep us updated on that. Do they even stand a chance????

*Note: I actually gathered this info this morning and e-mailed to to myself, because I can't get to the board at work :p and haven't had a chance to check out the very latest, so if it's changed or updated in any way, I am not aware of it.
