The fact someone works hard doesn't mean they didn't benefit from government handouts. The formula is SUPPOSED to be:
(minimal government assistance, as needed) + (lots of hard work) = success
Any person who succeeded due to "handouts" would likely fit this model. Condi does. One notable exception is Uncle Clarence Thomas, a lazy student who cruised by on a C average at Harvard and philandered his way through his career until landing in a cushy lifetime job, only to turn on those very programs he benefitted from. So, your recollection of his hard work is dead wrong.
So is your recollection of welfare reform. And, presidents may not have the power to override a veto, but they do strongly sway their party, and they do get to propose laws -- they are part of the congressional process. Let's not ignore reality.
