For a guy who regularly accuses Republicans in Congress of manufacturing crises, President Obama sure doesn't mind manufacturing one of his own when someone starts pulling in the reins on his favorite activities - like spending taxpayer money. So it's with no apparent hint of irony that Obama is threatening to veto the annual defense-authorization bill unless Congress a) lifts restrictions on non-defense spending; and b) lets him transfer the remaining terrorists being held at Guantanamo elsewhere, possibly to the U.S. homeland.
