All of a sudden, Bush is the veto king

them damn democrats... bound and determined to call a halt to an out-of-control presidency... the nerve...!
Though [Bush] has vetoed only one piece of legislation since taking office, he has vowed to veto 16 bills that have passed either the House or the Senate in the three months since Democrats took control of Congress.

Despite the threats, Democratic lawmakers expect to open new fronts against the president when they return from their spring recess, including politically risky efforts to quickly close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; reinstate legal rights for terrorism suspects; and rein in what Democrats see as unwarranted encroachments on privacy and civil liberties allowed by the USA Patriot Act.

overall, imho, a MUCH better list than the first 100 hours...
