Obama's First Veto to Be Overridden
RUSH: Look, I know it's a big deal to people. It's just a distraction to me. Obama's first veto is gonna be overridden, it looks like. This is the bill 9/11 families wanted to sue Saudi Arabia. Obama says, "You can't do that! No, we're not gonna permit that," and they overrode his veto of the bill. Gotta go to the House. Let's see... "A sweeping bipartisan majority in the Senate," 97-1, to one to affirm a bill allowing 9/11 suits against our friends the Saudis. The lone holdout voting with Obama was Dingy Harry. It was 97 to one.
Apparently, Obama is livid over this Senate override of his veto. He's saying that this is the most embarrassing thing the Senate's done in 20 or 30 years, overriding his veto. This is the bill that would prevent lawsuits against the Saudis by families, victims of 9/11. Obama apparently has taken this as a major diss, a major sign of disrespect, and you know what happens when certain people get dissed and the way they lash out. This is something to keep a sharp eye on.
