Obama had initially threatened to veto the legislation. In a signing statement released by the White House on Saturday, Obama said he still does not agree with everything contained in the legislation. But with military funding due to expire Monday, Obama said he signed the bill after Congress made last-minute revisions at the White House’s request before approving it two weeks ago.

“He’s the all-around man I’ve really been wanting to see,” said Tom Weig, who with his wife, Karen, had driven three hours from their home in Graettinger to drop off a $50 check at Santorum’s office. “We’ve been watching the debates for quite a while. The last debate really made my mind up. He’s always had to fight to get any attention.”

The Republicans will now have to vote on the SAME Bill AGAIN in 60 days with vastly different playing field before them for the near future….
As soon as Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination the White House will pivot to aim at him and probably tie him to the right leans he has had to make to get the GOP nomination…
But for now…
The President will be laying the foundation for his fight with the House GOP newbie’s in 60 days…..

We Ask America releases one last tracking poll in Iowa. They find Romney as the frontrunner with 24%, Santorum surging past Paul with 17%, Paul at 14%, Gingrich 13%, Bachmann 12%, Perry 10% and Huntsman 4%. One caveat- the poll is of likely Republican caucus-goers. Paul’s campaign in particular relies on Democrats and independents to bolster its strength (as PPP has found in its polls), so one big question in this caucus is if Paul can turn out these untraditional constituencies. Still, 14% is lower than other polls for Paul even among Republicans.
