He must be seen to lead

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, explaining why George Bush is working on a media stunt to accompany his veto of the Iraq war supplemental funding bill -- something that everyone knows he will veto, and something that he claims will veto as quickly as possible:

MS. PERINO: But, obviously, the President has said he's going to veto it, and I think that it's important that the American people see him doing it.

Why?

UPDATE: Because, Bush will need some distraction from the reminder of what he was doing on May 1, 2003, the new veto most likely falling on May 1, 2007.
