The president may veto a bill passed by the senate that gives $2 billion to the JFK rail link project, because of a provision added by New York's senators.

Part of the $60 billion bill allows the city to swap unused September 11th tax credits for the JFK project. It has broad support in the Senate and the White House supports it.

But, Senator Charles Schumer added a provision to slap a hefty tax increase on oil companies. The White House suggested that it might veto the whole bill because of the $4.3 billion in oil taxes.

To me... it seems that Bush is a "mole" for Big Oil. You know what else is funny... if you were Big Oil, and you knew that Peak Oil was going to hit soon, would you put someone in office to help you "control" that situation?

Ya know how when you were young you had that friend who started working for a burger joint or a candy store, and once he got that job he hooked you and everyone else up. Bush is that guy for the oil companies and his rich buddies.
