President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children's health insurance.
It was only the fourth veto of Bush's presidency, and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks for their party in next year's elections. The Senate approved the bill with enough votes to override the veto, but the margin in the House fell short of the required number.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., decried Bush's action as a "heartless veto."
"Never has it been clearer how detached President Bush is from the priorities of the American people," Reid said in a statement. "By vetoing a bipartisan bill to renew the successful Children's Health Insurance Program, President Bush is denying health care to millions of low-income kids in America. "
Bush cast his veto behind closed doors without any fanfare or news coverage.
Just another indication that Bush is a over privileged bastard who does not relate in any way to the real world needs of his fellow citizens.
I just cannot believe that people still support this prick!
Now here is the thing...Kanye West in Sept 2005...said that "MrBush hates Black people"...
ReplyDeletebut a week ago on BET he updated his thoughts on this...and said he now realizes that he was wrong...."Mr.Bush Hates ALL people".......
Now I think Mr West may be brilliant...next to some bloggers I know of course.....but here is the thing..I think that Mr.Bush hates poor children and children that are almost poor.....( and at this rate the number rise daily).....
