Democrat seeks veto on spending bill - Washington Times: "A Senate Democrat on Monday called on President Obama to veto the $1.1 trillion catchall spending bill Congress sent the White House over the weekend, saying the president must 'take the credit card away from the politicians who just want to spend, spend, spend.'

Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana, who voted against the bill on three separate occasions over the past few days, said Mr. Obama didn't create the spending crisis, but challenged the president to clean it up.

'I would hope the president would veto this bill,' he said. 'It's bad for our country's finances. It's bad for our children because we are going deeper into debt to China. It sets a terrible example by showing that politicians are totally out of touch with the sacrifices middle-class Americans are making.'"
