Bush Vetoes Child Health Bill Privately
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and CARL HULSE
Published: October 4, 2007President Bush on Wednesday made good on his promise to veto a bill that would have expanded government health insurance for children. He added, “If they need a little more money to help us meet the objective of getting help for poorer children, I’m more than willing to sit down with the leaders and find a way to do so.”
Awww, he does care, see? He’s willing to give poor children a “little” more money. I guess if those children that need healthcare would sit on the whitehouse doorstep with a little cup, he’d put some spare change in there everytime. Such a compassionate guy.
The veto, only the fourth of Mr. Bush’s presidency, is a politically difficult one for the president, and he issued it in private Wednesday morning, without the fanfare and White House ceremonies he has employed when rejecting embryonic stem cell legislation and an emergency war spending bill that set a deadline for troop withdrawal from Iraq.
Yes, he hoped the public won’t even notice that he would rather spend more money in Iraq than he does on the needs of children here in the US.
Still, he sounded a bit uneasy. “My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions,” Mr. Bush said, adding that he had come to “explain the philosophy behind some of the decisions I’ve made.”
Your job is a decision making job so you make a lot of decisions. We are so glad you explained that Mr. President. Thank you from all of us hicks out here that didn’t understand that a decision making job would require you to make a lot of decisions. Bush does this a lot. He’ll say that Iraq was a state sponsor of terriorism, then say, in other words, they sponsored terrorism. He is trying to be helpful because he just knows we cannot understand him when he says it only once.
The last part of the quote above is really fascinating. Bush explaining the “philosophy” of anything. I just want him to spell philosophy once.
