Bush now says he will veto any effort to block the deal. Wouldn't he need to understand the deal before he veto's it? I find it interesting that he all of the sudden understands the deal after just yesterday saying he knew nothing of it until congress started to raise issues with it.
So we have one of two scenarios here.
1. Bush lied about knowledge of the deal and is pushing it for back room reasons.
2. Bush knew nothing of the deal and is now having a knee jerk reaction to the pressure put on him by both sides of the house.
Either way the American public loses for reasons far beyond the implications of the deal itself.
