Bush uses veto to deny children medical insurance

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7026454.stmUS President George W Bush has vetoed a bill to expand a children's health care insurance scheme, after it was passed with a large majority in the Senate.
Mr Bush argues it takes the programme beyond its original purpose of insuring children from low-income families.
The vetoed bill proposed higher tobacco taxes to provide an extra $35bn (£17bn) to insure some 10 million children.
Children's health insurance is set to be a campaign issue in next year's elections, analysts say.
Eighteen Republican senators joined Democrats last week in passing the legislation by a 67-29 vote.
But the House of Representatives, which approved the bill by 265-159, was well short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.
It is only the fourth time Mr Bush has used his veto power in the course of his presidency.
Can this fuckwit be any more of a cunt? Short of feeding children to packs of dogs, I really can't see how...
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

They don't now.
nothing like having a spoiled rich kid making decisions on social legislation.
How I hate this fellow.
All he needs now to make him seem worse is to shoot children on his lawn.
FFS. America is leading the world, you know, they do it all better than anyone else. Maybe they wpould, if they removed twunts like this lot from power.
and thats a bad thing?
Im just saying that anyway trespassing into the White house shot be shot on site, why take the risk?

And even if it was an adult, what about warning them first to stop advancing and to go on their knees with their arms up?
So a small child loses its frisbee say, or toy of some sort, and goes to retreive it. Shot.
A mothers baby crawls onto the lawn, she runs to fetch it. Both shot.
Dear god, I am glad you are not in power. LE SIGH. Go back to your trailer.
