You are telling me he couldn't have vetoed the budget? So much for standing firm in your convictions, I guess. The president has the power that no member of congress has, and that is to take his case to the people. If Bush 1 felt that the tax increase was such a bad thing, he could have called for one of his "fireside chats", and named names.
All this aside, I will be very interested to see what happens now that 1 party is more or less in the drivers seat.
