President Bush will officially veto the farm bill today per Reuters:
Quote:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush is expected to veto the "bloated" $280 billion farm bill on Wednesday, a White House spokeswoman said.
Spokeswoman Dana Perino said the five-year bill was "bad for American taxpayers." Farm leaders in Congress say they can override the veto and enact the five-year bill as law.

Congress may initiate an override vote as early as this evening. We are nearing the end game now.
