Presidunce Dumbya vetoed the children's health insurance bill this morning, and slipped off to a Pennsylvania speaking engagement to avoid the inevitable questions. The bipartisan bill (18 Rethugs in the Senate supported the bill) would have added another 4 million children for health care coverage. Bushit's reasoning for vetoing the measure? It might be a first step toward government-run healthcare. Another, more likely, reason? The insurance would be funded by an increased tax on tobacco, forcing a key Bushie industry to take it in the shorts.
Congressional leaders have said that they will keep passing the bill and sending it to the White House. Many Congressional Rethugs are furious because the Decider has once again hung them out to dry.
