Bush had the same veto power as every sitting president. The question is, what did he do with it? Surprisingly little - in fact, he used that power less than any president in US HISTORY. "As of December 2008, President George W. Bush had vetoed only 12 bills since taking office in January 2001. Only one Presidential veto occurred before Democrats took control of Congress in January 2007. This is the fewest Presidential vetoes of any modern President; in March 2006 Bush set a 200-year veto record. Source: US Senate.".

How can historians freaking know sh!t about Bush when he just left 6 months ago? You can't even start figuring out a man's legacy until YEARS after he's been out of office - so right there I know you don't know what you are talking about. Stuff that happened in his last year were enivitable and NO ONE on either side had said ANYTHING about trying to do something about it, in fact, the mortgages that dragged many institutions and AIG down were forced on them by the some of the same people in charge now - Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. You, and Iacocca (who I mentioned I liked) is off base on this. Sarge take a STFU pill and call the Doctor in the morning.

The new Chrysler would be better served if the retirees stayed home and "volunteered" to make concessions on their pension benefits. Nevertheless, Fiat would be wise to use Iacocca, although Fiat is no stranger to pulling one's ass out of the fire.
