As Los Del Rio could tell you, originating a fad is the same as having an expiration date. Fortunately for Soulja...
...prove his credentials. But regardless of the immediate political cost over a possible veto of SCHIP, these are fights the President welcomes in his last 16 months in office. After the largest expansion of government since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society four decades ago, he is bending over backward to show committed budget hawks that he is really one of them.
