Bush Vetoes Children's Health Insurance Plan

  Always remember that some of your friends voted for this moron!

  From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON - President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children's health insurance.

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."

  So now it is time to put the screws to the Republican House members who voted against this bill and we need to make sure that the House can come up with the number needed to override Bush's veto. This can already be done in the Senate.
