Bush Vetoes SCHIP Bill
No surprise, just more political gamesmanship. Bush killed the stealth expansion of government-controlled health care, and Democrats took to the floor to denounce his hatred of children.
Just another shot at Republicans prior to next year's elections. We'll get to listen to "children children children" for the next few months.
"Poor kids first," Bush said. "Secondly, I believe in private medicine, not the federal government running the health care system."
It was only his 4th veto.
