DemFromCT over at Daily Kos has an excellent post-SCHIP rundown. Click here to read it. Bottom line: The American people, by an overwhelming 81% to 15% margin, want this program in place. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will reintroduce the bill later, and believes she can pick up the 13 votes she needs to override another presidential veto (the Senate already has those numbers).
And it's that Bush veto that puzzles me. By rejecting the bill, Little Boy George proves once again that he hates Americas children. In addition to sending them to Iraq to die on the wings of lie, saddling them with a national debt so enormous that - in order to pay it off - taxes will have to be raised so high that their standard of living in 20 years will be much lower than that of their parents, and presiding over an education program that will leave them in the dust behind India and China, the President now leaves them without any sort of health care program.
Every industrialized nation in the world takes care of their children. But not the United States. Not under this president.
Say it with me: The. Worst. President. Ever.
