	Rubber stamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rubber stamping, also called stamping, is a craft in which some type of ink made of dye or pigment is applied to an image or pattern that has been carved, molded, laser engraved or vulcanized, onto a sheet of rubber.
		The rubber is often mounted onto a more stable object such as a wood or an acrylic block to produce a more solid instrument.
		The ink coated rubberstamp is then pressed onto any type of medium such that the colored image has now been transferred to the medium.

	Politics : PEOPLE & POLITICS:- Budget: Obasanjo at it again (2)
		The first part of this series, last Thursday, dwelt on efforts by the Executive to secure for itself a docile federal legislature to enable a more entrenched President Olusegun Obasanjo regime to run his second term without the grinding bother it suffered in the hands of the lawmakers during the first term.
		The implication of this is that the National Assembly’s role, indeed power, over the regulation and management of the nation’s financial resources is real, not imagined.
		In fact, it has been a major dereliction of duty to the nation and disservice to our presidential democracy that the Presidency has always sought to undermine the Assembly’s position (and often with the collaboration of its members).

		During the authoritarian Soeharto era, the armed forces played a central political role under a doctrine known as "dual function," with the DPR and MPR comprising a substantially higher proportion of appointed TNI/POLRI and societal group members than at present.
		Having served as rubberstamp bodies in the past, the DPR and MPR have gained considerable power and are increasingly assertive in oversight of the executive branch.
		In part, this reflects a desire to prevent the presidential excesses of the past and, in part, to restrain Wahid, who is seen as at times dangerously unpredictable.

		The Constitution didnât mandate a rubberstamp for George Washington, and the Constitution doesnât mandate a rubberstamp for George Bush.
		The unfortunate truth is that some Senators have fashioned themselves activist legal scholars, using a false reading of the Constitution to paint their opponents as obstructionists while pursuing their political agenda at the expense of our democracy.
		They claim that because we have not rubberstamped each and every one of George Bushâs nominees, the nation faces a crisis because of a shortage of judges on the bench.

		Thus, Howard Dean got himself in trouble for saying he hates Republicans who, he said, never did an honest day’s work and are just a bunch of white Christians.
		The Bush administration changed that model within the U.S. and the across the globe and for some reason the objective of the Democrats is to return to it, by blocking all measures of change presented and implemented by a majority elected president, Senate and House.
		What you right wingers are really calling for is for Congressional Democrats to “rubberstamp” any and all of President Bush’s nominees, legislation, and agenda in spite of the fact that they are fundamentally opposed to all of that.
